Ambrosina hardiness?

From: StroWi at t-online.de (StroWi at t-online.de) on 2007.10.23 at 11:07:12(16589) Dear Alice, Matyas and Julius , thanks, your comments really help. I was sort of terrified since we had our first unexpected night with frost and I already thought my Ambrosinas would not survive it when I found them covered with hoarfrost in the morning. ?I will grow them frostfree till I have some more tubers. Your replies indicate that they might even get over our winters in a well drained sheltered spot. Happy growing, Bernhard. +More ===================== Bernhard Strolka Uetze, Germany USDA zone 7 -----Original Message----- Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 22:17:53 +0200 Subject: [Aroid-l] Ambrosina hardiness From: Alice Nicolson To: aroid-l at gizmoworks.com I have had this plant in my mostly sunny rock garden for 2 years, and ? it bloomed twice in the same year - the first time in February and ? the second time last November. Our winters have been mild - last year ? never below 10 degrees F, and we are supposedly Z7. A friend grows it ? under more protected conditions in Z6. Alice Nicolson, Arlington Virginia
