I can wholeheartedly endorse Jim Shields Crinums. He shared some seeds of hybrid origin with me over 10 years ago that have survived in my USDA zone 5 garden for the last 7 years outdoors (granted, planted on the south side of the house near the basement foundation wall). I shared a couple of these plants with my sister-in-law for her new house in Central Texas a couple of years back. When I dug up the bulbs they were really large and are thriving near Fredericksburg, Texas in their new home. Boyce Tankersley Chicago Botanic Garden On Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 4:44 PM, J.E.
