From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> On Behalf Of Gianni Benetti Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2020 12:16 PM To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net Subject: [pbs] Pancratium foetidum For several years I have been growing Pancratium foetidum in Italy, USDA 8b, in open ground, loose clay soil and full sun. Each autumn the plant produces beautiful foliage, does not suffer from low temperatures (-3 ° C), but has never bloomed. On the contrary, I have seen flowering plants grown in rather small pots. Can anyone explain to me the reason for the non-flowering? Thank you.
