I planted my crocus bulbs about this time last year and I saw a few leaves this spring and that's all. No flowers, nothing more than a few green leaves. I live in South Texas (zone 8) so it's not the climate.

Hi, I planted them at the end of August ...they were healthy and have grown about 8 more inches..but it will be next spring before I see how well they do.

I grow mine inside as they are sensitive to extremes. The only place you can grow them outside on the mainland is selected spots in California near the coast. They like it between 60 and 80 degrees I believe. You won't get many berries out of put grown plants though, but they do flower and supposedly smell nice. Mine are still very young and have not flowered.

After the last frost has long past. I'll order mine in April or May. Depending also where you live.

I'm in zone 5/6 and they are here. Our growing season is from the end of May to about the end of Sept. If 4 is about the same, then yes, they are viable for zone 4.

I'm in zone 7B/8A and I've had some planted in the yard for about 4 years. Even after a winter where temps got down to the single digits, they always come back and reach 10-15 feet tall by mid summer. Zone 9 they should grow like crazy.

We planted in mid April in zone 5. Some came, but had unusually hard rains and a cool spring so I am unable to give you a good answer. I would rebuy.

I purchased these at the end of last summer. I will be planting them in the next month or so... Who can say after this winter. I am looking forward to get them in the ground but I can't answer this question until then.

I planted mine in late spring/early summer. They are growing well, no blooms yet. They are hardy in zones 8A to zone 11 and must have at least 6 hours of sun each day. You may want to contact a nursery in your area and they can tell you when the Bottle Brush should be planted. Good luck

Hi Ron...I would think so...they are pretty hardy. I am on the borderline of Planting Zone 6 & 7, I planted them with Morning Glories...have AM and PM flowers. They are planted on the southwest side of my house. LOve Moonflowers!

I live in Rhode Island and the winters are somewhat harsh. When would you recommend I plant the seeds?

I have three of these plants that are in their first year of growth (South Florida). Heat, humidity, full sun, no problem. Growth is rapid and currently they are flowering. My research indicated that these plants are hardy, even for short periods of time at freezing temps. San Diego would probably be an excellent environment to grow these wonderful berries. Good luck and post a follow up in six months to let us know.

I planted mine late last year too, after they would have produced berries. This year they have started to spread and are growing. Looking forward to getting berries this year. Watch out for snails and slugs!

An update from you would be good. If you left them in the ground, you should be seeing flowers and foliage soon. I would think that you planted them too late to get flowers in that year, but hopefully they still would have lived.

We planted them 3 days after receiving.They started looking sad at that time so probably 3 days max!

I started the seeds in Dana Point and the wonderful. Grew about 1 foot. The weather is sunny and by the beach. I moved my plants to Fallbrook, California and they are not doing so well. Seems like they need afternoon sun and good drainage. Hope this helps

I am Zone 5a, in western new york, and I planned mine after last spring frost, for me it was May 15th. So Spring planting definitely. By Labor Day they were over 6 feet tall.
