Dell I did not know Lycoris squamigera is such a hardy plant and they are fragrant. Yes, the flowers are good for cutting. White color is also attractive. L. Squamigera means Naked Lady? When they come back from the ground to bloom in late August, I was so happy that hot and dry summer is almost over. Reliable, and easy to grow without any work.

It's not fancy, as lycoris go, but it is a treasure. My love for it was made solid when I saw an immense clump of them in bloom on the grave of my 6-great grandfather in Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania. They are very special as cut flowers and they are fragrant, if you get up close. > > Dell > > Dell Sherk, Salem, WV, USA > -------------------------------------------- > On Fri, 2/24/17, Jane Sargent <jane@deskhenge.com> wrote: > > Subject: [pbs] Lycoris, tigridia > To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > Date: Friday, February 24, 2017, 5:42 PM > > Do I misunderstand, or is there a > kind of Lycoris that will grow in the > ground in zone 5?
