Re: Dracunculus growing on clay Z5

Hello Jan,
 
As I rememer you live in Hungary, am I right?
I'm afraid they would not survive outdoors.
according to the IAS map (attached) I live in zone 7,
I live in western Poland, near the letter "n" of "Berlin",
If the map is reliable, your zone is 6
(more continental climate with colder winters)
 
If you have many tubers, you can always try,
plant it deep (about 15 cm) and add something loose
I don't guarantee a success, but I'll give you a hint:
plant it with a pot, after the winter it'll be easy to find if it's still there.
 
Best,
Marek

Subject: [Aroid-l] Dracunculus growing on clay Z5

Dear All,

After growing Darcunculus for several years in big containers I would like to know if they would survive outside. My soil is clay with sodium more than necessary. I would like to know who have success growing it outside in Zone 5. I would try to plant them out, but I don't want to loose them becouse they have nice reddish color not blackish. They were wild collected in Turkey, but the seller don't know where.

Bye,
Jan
Z5a, Hungary
