Amarylis belladonna in the Pacific Northwest

Hi Jan,
Amaryllis belladonna grows well in my garden in Niagara with a good layer
of mulch for winter protection.
Good drainage is another big factor in hardiness.

So i scored a couple of Amarylis belladonna bulbs in the latests BX. Do I
have a snowball’s chance of hell growing them in the ground in Portland,
Oregon? I read the wiki information on them and some say to plant at neck
level and some say to plant deeper. My inclination is to plant deeper
since that would provide a bit of frost protection. I do have a frost free
greenhouse but what I read says they don’t bloom as well in pots. I can
give them good drainage in the garden.
