Hey. I have 2 society garlic plants, 6 or so crinums (most small - golf to tennis ball size) and 8-1 gallon agapantus. Because they are my favorite, I never planted them because I couldn't find the 'Perfect" spot. Stupid! Now it's mid-November and I'm panicing!
1) Do I keep the agapanthus and garlic in the garage and keep watering throughout the winter (hardly and light). Or should I just get them in the ground somewhere?
2) For the crinum bulbs, do I take them out of the small bit of dirt they are in, leave them bare, dry and dark in the garage for the winter? Or, again, should I just ry and get them in the ground somewhere?
I appreciate the help. I'm going to post this in a couple of other places too so I can get more opinions.
Thanks all!
Last pots in garage need help! Plant or not? (I'm 7b)
I Was told this in another thread. Does everyone agree?
Sound's like y'all are telling me to over winter everything.
Societ garlic and agapanthus: keep potted, cut back water and let die back in the garage where there is very little light.
Crinums: remove small amount of dirt on them, let dry out and foliage die back, store in garage.
Correct?
Well I'm no expert here, but last winter I just left my crinum in their pots in a cool spot and only watered when they got really dry and they did fine. They did get a little light from a widow but not any direct light. They seem pretty sturdy to me.
BTW, I do the same thing with the quest for the "perfect spot" so you are not alone! :)

The crinum need no attn. I would just put them in the ground where ever you would like.
