There are apparently some that are of Med areas (Rome the bath asparagus).
If it is like the Star of Bethlehem, which my in laws grow as a cut flower
they are really nice easy and fairly drout resistant. They replant the
bulbs in Augus and they get the necessary chilling to bloom from
Febuary-May, june at the latest. (I don't thik this will work for some of
you people, just leave um in the ground, although the yellow/orange species
I think were more tender than the white speciies) They produce copius
bulblet on the old leaves under ground. The one I am familiar with can be
a weed as it is fairly presistant. It does need care as aphids and
melaybugs will infest the bulbs and cause them to disapear over time...
