an un-named red Rhodo

an un-named pink Rhodohypoxis

and lastly a double Rhodohypoxis, R. 'Goya', which I got at Gardener's World Live on Friday

Hi Mark, do these winter over for you? I have had the darker pink ones and they just don't last here. My bro lives in town and he still has a little piece that survives but I figure his does because it is under the eave of his house where it is dryer and probably warmer.

well.. a friend leaves hers in the ground and probably has 10s of 1000s of them. We very rarely get very cold nights and it is more likely that winter wet gets them. We were told a few days ago that they should be lifted, in their clumps, when the leaves die down and put into shallow boxes into a garage for the winter. this leaves them bone dry and no harm comes to them.
