clearly because it hadn't completely unfurled. None of mine are up yet,
but when they finally break dormancy I'll pay close attention to exactly
how the leaf emerges.
Now-Sauromatum giganteum has proven to be reliably cold hardy planted
anywhere on my property in a cold, wet zone 6a in Connecticut. Not only
do they prosper in a wide open garden with absolutely no extra
protection, but they flower and develop full seed heads - which
germinate at a high rate. As a reminder to the large contingent of
non-US members, Connecticut is in New England, the most northeasterly 6
states.
I'm also ready to report that Am. konjac has been reliably hardy
outdoors, next to the house, under the eve overhang. My original was
planted as deeply as I could dig and it was right up against the
foundation. After the first year, however, I had offsets pop up a good
foot (roughly 30 cm) away from the original plant and directly away from
the house. They missed out on the heat from the foundation and they
were also subjected to a lot more snow and rain. I was reluctant to
speak about this earlier because I wanted to make sure it survived
enough winters to make a good judgement. Our last two winters have been
extremely cold and snowy. If it and its offsets lived through those two
then I proclaim them hardy.
The question is this, how far from the house can they get and still
prosper? Give me a few more years and I'll tell you how it works out
for me.
