Re: Lachenalia in the ground?

Thanks Cathy!

I'm happy to share once they multiply.

My Lachenalias do fine in heavy soil in the ground. It went down to 24 degrees here and they weren't bothered. Sun brings out the best color. The only ones I grow in a pot (on a bench) are L. mutabilis as the small leaves are thin, and I like to see the subtle colors close up. What are Rupert and Ronina like? Could we trade some time after they multiply?

I received a gift of Lachenalia 'Rupert' and Lachenalia 'Ronina' bulbs. I've only grown Lachenalias in pots in the past but I am wondering if I can grow these in the ground. I have sandy soil and a climate that usually doesn't go below about 25 degrees but this year got down into the upper teens (a real disaster). I expect next year won't be as cold.
Shall I try these guys in the ground? And if so, under what conditions? 

Thanks
