calochortus

My experience with calochortus in pots is that they need to be kept cool in
the dormant season. Many grow under low shrubs or trees which shade the
ground in the summer. Those that grow in the open are often very deep in
the ground.

I used a stepped growing frame where the sides of the pots were not exposed
to the sun. Also there was open air space under the pots which seemed to
help keep the root area warm. I am planning to recreate that gowing space
now after my move and should have it ready before they start to go dormant
this summer. Also, deep pots are important, especially for those species
that grow in the open.
