[Aroid-l] Need some advice for aroids in outdoor condition

From: sfhatheway at yahoo.com (Sheldon Hatheway) on 2008.02.23 at 18:46:53(17094) Hello, Franck, Here in Canby, OR, USA, in a similar zone as yours, we successfully grow Dracunculus vulgaris and Arum italicum (in addition to the ones you mentioned) in the ground all year. They do just fine with a little winter mulch if it gets below 20F. Both of these are available from most of the larger mail-order nurseries. A Google search will give you more leads than you could ever look at in a normal lifetime. We also grow a number of hardy orchids outside: Bletilla, Pleione, Calanthe, Dactylorhiza, Roscoea, Spiranthes, etc. Some of these do well in full sun, and some appreciate a little light shade during the hot summer afternoons.

I am in a climate zone 7, with hot summer and severe winter (around -10?C in average to the lower level). What could you advice me as species ? I have retained some ones but it is just to be sure (Arisaema sp., Typhonium sp., Symplocarpus sp. are the genus I have for example. I don't write the species because the list is long). And to finish, how or where can I found some specimens adapted in culture outdoor ? Thanks a lot for your help Franck -- --------------------------------------------------- Franck RADNAI - Climate Zone 7 Web site : http://fradnai.free.fr/ Photos : http://picasaweb.google.fr/Franck54280 Long. 6?21' 7" Est Lat. 48?47'14" Nord -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L at www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
