This is my first time planting Lycoris of any species, and unfortunately Lycoris radiata isn't the most hardy of the genus.
I think I bought the fertile diploid form, which is rated at zone 7 minimum, but my area is rated as a zone 6B with temperatures regularly going down to -25 C in February and possible frosts well into late May. Would it be possible to leave Lycoris radiata in the ground without protection and have it thrive?
My guess is that the late winter freeze in February would be awful for Lycoris radiata leaves. If anyone has any experience growing Lycoris radiata in zone 6 or colder I would love to hear about your experience or method!
