"mexican shell flower"? - August 20th, 2004 at 03:41 AM
Hi,
In my spring flower order was included as a gift...6 Mexican shell flower bulbs. Not knowing anything about them I just stuck them in a moist,full sun,mulched spot. All six came up but only one developed into a flower..pic attached. I really like it but none of my books(3) have anything about them. Do they come in different colors,location.wet dry.sun or shade?. I am in zone 5 so I bet I have to store the bulbs this winter. Thanks for all info,maybe I will plant more..this one deserves a friend> shellflower
