Particularly the winter time drainage here in NZ. I have had no problem growing and flowering the Sternbergia Lutea, but know of others who just cannot grow and flower them, and usually it is the lack of very good drainage in winter. Summer rain doesn't seem to bother them. Ina Crossley On 30/12/2011 3:09 p.m., Rodger Whitlock wrote: > reasonable wintertime drainage.
