Hi Ginny:
I presume it's deciduous -- corms arrived here with wisps of dried-out
leaves attached. My friend doesn't know or can't remember the species --
has only said the Watsonia flowers in early spring outdoors in S. Cal,
goes dormant all summer there.
If possible, I would like to store these bulbs & pot them up next spring
(indoors to start with) -- do you think I could "fool Mother Nature"
into letting me do this even tho Watsonia wants to start growing now to
flower in spring? Appreciate any thots here.
Marte
