Kelly Irvin wrote with respect to planting Lycoris squamigera "Remember to plant with the neck just below soil level." I think I've asked the group this question in the past, but I don't remember getting much of a response. Are there any data to suggest that a particular planting depth is best for Lycoris? In particular, are Lycoris like peonies in that if planted too deeply (or too shallowly) they will not bloom? I have old, scattered plantings of Lycoris squamigera in my garden; some bloom, some don't. I have no idea why.
