Hi Vlad, I have grown E. Pagoda for many years in my garden (Boston MA USDA zone 6B) and we get every kind of weather you can imagine and they've coming back every year. We have scorching hot, humid and wet summers and even drought stricken ones and our winters can be mild, cold, wet or snowy and it doesn't affect them. I have mine planted in full sun alongside Lycoris chinensis and a few others but in well drained amended soil with compost and well-rotted manure. I hope this helps. Warm Regards, Fred _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
