Hi Judy, As you are talking of box store Tigridias, I'm quite sure you've got T. pavonia. To my experience those are totally content with being handled like garden gladiolus, that is they do well with dry storage over 4 or 5 months - even one year old seedlings tolerate this quite well. Out in the open, they have a 50:50 chance to survive my wet Zone 7 winters - too little to try it often ;-). btw they are easy from seed and may flower at the end of their first summer - Though mine usually do so on their second summer. I'm not sure if I would keep them in their dry pots - mostly because i'd guess they get too crowded quickly, with their rate of getting offsets. As for other Tigridias: I've lost both Tigridia orthantha and chiapiensis to lifted dry storage. T. vanhouttei seems to do fine just the way T. Pavonia does, but may like it in the pot, too - it rarely makes offsets. Greetings from Germany (where both T. Pavonia and T. Vanhouttei only started flowering last week) Martin Am 23.07.2017 um 02:47 schrieb Judy Glattstein: > > How should they be stored for winter?
