Dear friends, When in doubt, go to the books. I have recommended "Hippeastrum; the gardeners amaryllis' (Timber Press, 2004) here before. Of course the author, Veronica Read, has pages devoted to "Indoor Pot Cultivation for Cooler Climates' including planting out and more details than we could ever cover here. I am sure that most any library may have it or interlibrary loan or just buy the book. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
