Hi,
I have Lycoris sprengeri in the yard. It has been there 2 years and grows
well. The first fall there was only a single scape among a dozen or more bulbs.
I have head that L. sprengeri just won't flower well in zone 9 because the
winters are not cold enough. The last 2 winters have seen lows around 25 F.
But other sources indicate it is suitable for zone 9 (e.g., Plant Delights
catalog). Generally, venders on the Web indicate the plant is suitable for zone 9.
Does anyone know more about this? Maybe the plants need 2 full seasons to
recover from being moved?
