I'm just a notch warmer but will tell you mine are morning sun ~ shade for the rest of the day. Yes to burying them deeply and I have never mulched. We have temps in the teens twenties in winter and have never lost them. I find they start blooming after a good soaking rain and seem to bloom better when if they get regular moisture...

If started from seed expect from 2- 10 years for blooms. Bulbs will bloom more quickly. I have 3 types of crinum and find care the same for all. pod

disregard that photo ~ sorry but I picked the wrong one... : (
