Thanks Lorn, I did remember reading that somewhere. My main thing was not being sure if the foliage would die back here in my location. Fl. can be weird that way plus I haven't been in north Fl. long enough yet to know gardening things like that. I'm still a fish out of the water coming from zone 10 Florida. I knew what things did down there like the back of my hand. I'm feeling my way along up here.
Do you know, the nurseries here don't sell LA lilys? They didn't even know what I was talking about, so I said asiatic lilys --- still a blank look. Isn't that silly?
