Re: Calla lilies - sun or shade?
Bobbi - I brought in my Agapanthus Blue Nile this winter and it just finished a
beautiful series of blooms. (about 15). This strikes me as very early and I
hope it is not done for the season (but think it is). I keep the plant in a cool
room with ancient fluorescent lights placed vertically on the wall . But that
is not the same as wintering over.
