Hardy to zone 7 our grandmothers garden were not complete without these passalong plants. Imported from the tropics in the early to mid 1800's these enormous bulbs - up to 5 pounds each, 12 inches high and up to 6 inches around for a mature specimen - are about the most carefree plants around. Plant in full sun and forget. The favorite variety was one called milk and wine - white blooms with a red stripe.
