Proud mama (arums)

From: Ellen Hornig <hornig at Oswego.EDU> on 1997.01.13 at 15:23:54(112) Much to my amazement and delight, arum seeds planted a year ago September have, in fact, germinated, and are putting up their first leaves (A. gratum, korolkowii, and orientale). The percentages so far are not high - roughly 15% - but they're only just peeking up, so maybe more will show. I'm so proud! :-) And now a question (to justify cluttering the airwaves with gratuitous boasting) - has anyone on the list had experience growing the above species outdoors, and if so, under what conditions? Winter lows? Snow cover? I know they're only 1/4" high, but I like to plan ahead.... Ellen, in the frozen north of upstate NY
