Festalis-Peruvian Daffodil

Gotta love the wild looking things.

Very pretty flower. Do they smell good also? I only had one peruvian daff. and I can't find it. It smelled so good.

This one does not have much of a scent. This is my first time with them. Just liked the flower.

PS. The passion flower that you sent to me has been blooming its little heart out. The plant is still small so that i have to hold up the blosssoms for fear that the plant will snap. Pretty, pretty.

i have a pot of this in the greenhouse. When my gloriosa climbing lily didn't grow last summer. I sent the package into grower who had guaranteed it to grow. This spring I got a box by UPS that I had sent me more gloriosa climbing lilies (btw, they are all growing), these peruvian daffodils were in the free box too. I planted them in a pot in my GH.

Can you leave these plants in the ground in your zone?

I hope so or they will die. I leave everything else in the ground. Ranunculus and anemones have to be dug or they will rot sooooo... I do not grow them any more.

Lenjo, Im not sure but they might do ok, I know in my zone they die if left outside all winter : ( so Ill be keeping mine in a pot. The first ones I had were really super fragrant Frogs but the new ones I have havnt bloomed yet.

Frogsrus - you should have no problem leaving these bulbs in the ground, as far as temperature goes, anyway. I live in zone 9b and have some bulbs that must be 6-7 years old and I leave them in the ground. They do a pretty good job of mulitplying too, but I have been too lazy to divide.

I leave them in the ground here in my zone 8..
