Erythronium in warmer climates?
Jane McGary via pbs (Mon, 13 Sep 2021 10:11:46 PDT)
This question can't be answered until we know which species (or hybrid)
of Erythronium Vlad is asking about. Some species are western North
American, some are European, some east Asian, and some eastern North
American. Each group has its own cultural and climate preferences. Even
among the western Americans, there are easy ones (E. tuolumnense) and
very demanding ones (E. montanum).
If Vlad's friend just wants to grow the commercially available hybrids
such as 'Pagoda' and 'Citronella', they are quite easy to grow in
summer-dry situations. They are robust plants which increase very fast,
thanks to their E. tuolumnense ancestry. In a hot climate, they should
be grown in a shady situation.

Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a great weekend.
Wondering if this beautiful plant would do well in warmer climate, I mean zone 8a and above. Anyone has grown it successfully? I am asking for a dear friend who would love to grow, he lives in an area with typical Mediterranean patterns.
Please share anything that can help, I haven't tried personally growing this beauty yet, but considering it for next spring (finally, after so many years).
Thank you and have a lovely week,
Vlad Hempel
