Hi list, for me it's literally the opposite - I tried to plant this in several places and have never even seen a green tip emerge - Maybe it doesn't like me or my hyperactive slugs like it too much, no matter how much Iron phosphate I use. I have no idea why, but I've given up hope for this completely. Martin Am 06.08.2021 um 20:11 schrieb stephen willson via pbs: > Hello Jane, Kathleen: > > I'm in the Mt. Vernon area north of you both and am in Zone 8b too. I have Notholirion thomsonianum from a late-2017 BX that do Ok with me here. The first year I had them in the ground and the last few years I have had them in pots in my frost-free greenhouse. They did well there and flowered several times, very much as Jane describes. Describing the leaves as long and lax and fairly messy is correct so consider this, Kathleen, when you choose where to place the bulbs as the leaves do (for me) attract slugs and rabbits in the winter, so they may need to be guarded against these. I've moved my bulbs back out into the ground outside this summer when dormant as they took up valuable space in the greenhouse that I need for other plants in the winter. Hopefully they will be happy flowering again in the outdoors. > > Steve Willson, Bow WA (where we eventually had some overnight rain yesterday) > -- Martin (pronoun: he) ---------------------------------------------- Southern Germany Likely zone 7a _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
