Perhaps my soil is too alkaline for the highly species in nature hybrid. It has L. nepalense as a genetic contributor, and that species does not grow well for me either.
Kushi Maya I have tried a couple of different times here, ample compost added and mixed in to native soils, part sun, full sun. I've had a few to play around with and here it has not been too impressive. I rather the hybrids from strong lilums like L. henryi and Black Beauty, the more indestructible types for this climate anyway. What I get from Kushi Maya is small flowers that don't last long, odd petal formation on some flowers and low bud count all around. It burned this year, of course, but so did so many others. A season of high heat and drought will tell you who the performers are and who they aren't. That's just my take on this. Kudos to those of you who have success with this one. It is beautiful.
Hoping all possibilities come into play,.,3-4 frosts and a cool summer
