Dell. I have a couple crinums growing outdoors here in Z 5a through 2 winters now. One is Ellen Bosanquet. The other would require that I check the tag but I think it's Super Ellen. It's about 4" out of the ground right now. It's at 24" from the foundation of the house, just inside the drip line of the eaves. Your zone is more moderate than mine. You might want to give it a try? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dell Sherk" <ds429@comcast.net> To: "'Pacific Bulb Society'" <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 5:00 PM Subject: [pbs] Dividing bulbs > Dear Fellow Bulbophiles, > > > > This is the time of year when I, here in Eastern Pennsylvania, USA, zone > 6/7 > , divide my potted bulbs.
