Re: hardiness of Sauromatum


Further to Deni's comments, I can add a few. My T. venosum are in a 15 litre
pot in an unheated greenhouse and are rested as dry tubers sitting on open
mesh staging in the same greenhouse (absolute minimum last year minus 10,
average minimum 1). The plants this year have three to four leaves per
tuber, largest leaf 1.2 m. tall with a blade spread of 53 cm. Inflorescence
on this largest plant was 46 cm tall.
