Brad asked > Am I on the right track by keeping this Hymenocallis [wet]...? Many Hymenocallis are fully aquatic or wet-marginal plants. I couldn't get any of them to stay alive, let alone bloom/blow/flower/effloresce/flourish/emit cuticular wax in Phoenix until I stood them in water during the summer. This may be related to our very low humidity, however. I would guess most of eastern Canada has higher summer humidity than the Sonoran Desert. I know people in the southeastern USA bloom these plants in containers that are not sitting in water. They weren't so picky during winters past, when they were fine kept moist. Since discovering the pond trick I have left to stand in the pond all winter. My pond has only frozen once, during the arctic blast of December 1990. This winter I have had no frost at all.
