Thanks for the tips! The part of the bed I'm considering is at the edge of the tree roots and gets enough sun to support roses, peonies, and bearded irises, so I think F. persica may have a fighting chance. I'm really glad to see that some of you have success with F. meleagris in areas that are dry in summer- I'd like to get at least 100 bulbs to randomly scatter around the area for a naturalized look.
