Planting depth for Lycoris
William Hoffmann via pbs (Fri, 16 Oct 2020 14:08:13 PDT)
Oops, I missed that point in Jim's post. This year in my garden (a few
milies from PDN) a number of spring-foliage Lycoris bloomed for me without
recent lifting: L. sprengeri, L. chinensis, and L. longituba and a few
spring-foliage hybrids, Momozono, Lemon Yellow Spider, and October Bronze.
The species are in sun, but the hybrids all have overhead shade. Overall a
pretty good year, and have hundreds of seeds from dozens of crosses to grow
up.

Bill;
In checking our records, the only spring-foliage species that flowered
well this year and was not divided the year prior was L. sprengeri. L..
chinensis, L. longituba, L. x squamigera, L. x incarnata all flowered well
this year when divided, but not at all on undivided clumps.
As for shade, we typically see much better flowering on spring-leaved
species when grown in shade, as Jim alluded to in his post. Add to that
list, any fall flowered species, whose foliage burns badly in winter sun.
