Re: SV: Alophia veracruzana

Lars,

I'm not sure. Innes says for the whole genus "temps not less than 12 deg.
C". But A. drummundii ranges through USDA zone 7 which would suggest it may
be hardy to 0 deg. F. (-18 C.)  Although I'm in it's native range, I grow my
A. drummondii in a pot and haven't tested it in the ground.
