Re: Various Minimum Temperatures

From: Paul Tyerman ptyerman at ozemail.com.au> on 2001.06.13 at 14:59:56(6695) Howdy All, Just a quick note to say Thanks for the information regarding cold-hardiness of various aroids. Has been a great help to me, particularly the information on the IAS site (which I didn't know about). Thanks to all who responded. I now know there are far more aroids that I can grow here outside . Now I just have to find them. Out of interest.... what is the minimum temperature that anyone has grown Amorphophallus paeonifolius outside without frost or cold protection? Is that with Snow cover or not (I think I've heard that Snow cover actually helps insulate and isn't as bad as just plain cold?). Thanks again Peoples. Cheers. Paul Tyerman +More Canberra, Australia. USDA equivalent - Zone 8 mailto:ptyerman@ozemail.com.au Growing.... Galanthus, Erythroniums, Fritillarias, Lilium, Aroids, Irises plus just about anything else that doesn't move!!!!!
