Hello all,

I would like specific help in overwintering a 4 year old seedling of
unknown dierama sp. The seed was obtained from plants growing in the San
Francisco area and was told they were white flowered. Thirty germinated and
over the last 4 winters they died one by one. I really want to save this
last one!!!

I am in zone 7 Maryland.  The last few years I let the pot get cold outside
until moderate frosts threaten then brought into a cold dark basement where
the temp stays at 45°, watering sparingly every several weeks.The plant
seems to stay green late into the winter.  Should it be in a cold sunny
place? Should it go completely dormant?
 I've killed several mail order plants as well over the years and so this
beautiful bulb eludes me still.

Thank you..
Yoli
