Re: Moraea polystachya

I've only ever grown it here; we can usually rely on at least a 4 month summer dry season. I've grown it in a pot, though it seems a bit happier in a raised bed. Maybe it just wants a deep pot.

>It definitely tolerates light frost. Can you provide it with a dry season? Ken,      How long a dry season does it need?  The climate here is more of a summer rain climate, but some rain can fall any time of the year.  Late March to late May or early June is the driest time here.  I probably could put it under the eaves and have a 'more dry' time for it there, or if it could be grown in a pot, put it on the porch and not water it for the time it needed dry.  Winter temperatures can be a factor because we have been as cold as 12° F, but it would not be that low in the sheltered spots.
