In the fall, I would let the container dry out, and store it in the basement. In the Spring, I just sat it outside and started watering it again. Each supper, they would give a nice display. In fact, I still have that container of Zantedeschia and continue to treat it the same way now, 12 years after starting with it.<BR/><BR/>They could probably be treated the same way as cannas, gladiolus, and dahlias, dug and stored in the basement fairly dry. I haven't tried that here but it makes sense.<BR/><BR/>Hedychiums are too new to me to know. I suspect that they become fairly dormant and could be stored in the basement too. Just speculation.<BR/><BR/>The photo is another anonymous estate sale photo. Something interesting to look at. I assume it is a pioneer school somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-32477596851465787462007-03-04T18:46:00.000-08:002007-03-04T18:46:00.000-08:00Hmmm.. several plants that I am not familiar, prob...Hmmm.. several plants that I am not familiar, probably not hardy here in zone 5.<BR/><BR/>And that is an interesting picture.
