I agree with Jim W. that the hardy Lycoris don't like pots, but there is one exception, the type of pot. You, in the climate they are used to, 4-7(8), can get bloom about every year using a 2 gallon tree pot from Stuewe & Sons. These are so tall and slim they will not stand on their own. Four fit perfectly in a milk crate. IMPORTANT! They must be plunged for winter (which would be pretty deep), or create a mulch mound around them (requires a lot of course organic mulch like wood chips). Still, this system does work reliably. -- Mr. Kelly M.

They much prefer ( do much better) in the ground rather than pots. Bulbs should be planted completely buried.
