I've bought some corms of cultivars of Watsonia pyramidata from a local retail shop. The names of the cultivars are 'Flamboyant', 'Seashell' and 'Ablaze'. The references I have here at home tell me that this is a potentially tall species (up to 5'). What I would like to know is this: is it a winter growing species? Can I expect it to put up tall foliage during the winter? I would like to winter these in my protected cold frame - am I about to be disappointed? Little Watsonia humilis seem to take well to cold frame life; I'm hoping these tall forms will, too.
