-25ºC where I lived before wasn't a problem one cm deep planted on a small hill a few cm higher as the rest of the garden and fine chicken-wire over the bulbs against squirrels biggest problem is that in the trade the bulbs are wild collected they hardly re-root in the garden and die after a few years or they rot because the place is to wet better to grow them from seed in garden-soil and replant them the second year in the garden Roland 2012/7/29 J.E.
