Advise planting cardiocrinum giganteum bulb?
I have just got a c.giganteum bulb,the growing tip is just showing & the
roots are growing white/fibrous.Should i pot it up or plant in the garden(final position).If in the garden i will dig in lots of leaf mould ..The bulb i think will need a couple more seasons before flowering size. Thanks Keith |

Thanks Keith Ray recommends that you put it in a pot and plant it out later. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

The mixture sounds fine and Ray says leave it in a sheltered spot unless you live somewhere with arctic cold. Don't let it get too wet and rot away, though! Plant it out in its chosen spot next year. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |
