Dear Rod: The favorable depth of Lycoris radiata is nearly 5cm deep from the ground to the bottom of the bulb, and it's better to expose its mouth over the ground. However, in some places I found L. radiata grows in large and dense colonies with most of their bulbs outside the ground. If you can provide me a personal mailbox, I'll send you the photo of it.
