Ismene Sulphur Queen

11 years ago

I have an Ismene plant called 'Sulphur Queen'. What is the best way to overwinter it? I'm I in Canada so I know it won't survive the winter outside. I have a cold room, would that be good enough? I also did some research and it said to lift the bulbs, clean them off and store in a plastic bag in a cool place. Any suggestions? Marric

Do you have access to wood shavings? If yes you can store thoroughly dried bulbs in a box of wood shavings in a dry location. Recommend against plastic bags. Mesh bags like onions come in, which allow for air circulation, are much better,

Thanks. I have a few onion bags around so I'll be using them. This is the first year I've grown them, beautiful flowers!
