It is generally a zone 8 plant this may be a hardier varitey. I generally dig my bulbs up in the fall and bring them in. Here are some links that may help. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/

My crocus bulbs came up fine even tho' I am in zone 9a. No frost that year, so plant late and remove from ground a bit early. I hope that is meaningful to you.

Mine were fine in zone 5 out in the open. They are blooming now. If you are concerned, make sure they get some protection with mulch or plant in an area near your house where it is usually warmer.

Hi Carrie :) I live in the Lancaster are of PA...we are about what I would call zone 5.5 :) They grew perfectly well...and they even sprouted in the dead of winter in my greenhouse ( which is kind of chilly in December). Go for it :)

david i dont know the answer ,but i can tell you i use these bulbs for grow lights for six months a year at eight hours a night for the past two years and they are still working.

I found on the internet that the +C may mean the bulb is coated to reduce heat to the fixture.. if that's the case then consider that these bulbs are only 3W, and produce very little heat.. make your own decision from there....

Exactly. Here's my problem buying bulbs online.....you get what you get. Those bulbs are mostly filament. Consider getting them at Home Depot unless you get a great warranty.

I just purchased this plant myself, but I live in zone 10 and it is advertised as requiring a warm climate. I would check on other websites that give you more detailed general care instructions to find your answer. Check the other sites first before ordering, but my plant from Amazon is very healthy and growing well, and the price was quite good.

I know what you mean about Amazon information. While researching LED bulbs, I found a listing that showed a picture of a 90W bulb, but the information stated 75W bulb many times. Contacted seller and got a short reply that they are 75W! Amazon's customer reviews on these bulbs gave reviews on the TAHOE (4000K) and also on the HENDERSON (5000K). They're 2 different bulbs. I made a comment about this fact to Amazon. I think they have corrected the reviews that I commented on but their are many more that still are commenting on the Henderson model. Received ours on March 13, 2015. Can't say if we received an upgraded model,

the bulbs i bought were g-8 and are a good cheap replacement. i think home depot sells them for about 5.00 each

It is a 5000K bulb, no? While it is not labeled "Daylight," Daylight lamps are often ~5000K, sometimes higher, the higher the more like daylight. I myself consider it to be a "Daylight" bulb, and I use it as a GroLight for my houseplants and seedlings. They love it, and they are the ones with the final vote: they say, "Aye."

This item was installed in my home when I purchased the home. It currently has 5 bulbs.

No where on the bulb sleeve does it say T-5 Size. Instead it says, 24" 610 mm, 17 watts T8. Hope this helps. My guess is the T-5 is a shorter bulb.Sharon

The last one I bought only lasted about 6 months. I got it from Bulb World. I hope the one I just bought lasts a lot longer.

Hello, I ordered this bulb earlier this year and never did get a response back as to if I could exchange the bulb for really the correct one. So I gave up after a while. I have gone to home depot and replaced the bulb now. So not sure why I am getting this 6 months after the fact. Thank you!

Two of six that we placed in a single bulb outdoor enclosed fixture burned out in less than a week. The packaging does not say you can't use them in enclosed fixtures unless you are using them with other types of bulbs in the same fixture. YMMV

regular bulbs are not full spectrum unless its stated on the package. these are good though i ordered one a few months ago and with about 6-8 hours of use every day its still going.

Hi. I ordered 6 R 40's & they came as R 40's on my spec.'s. They were very nice bulbs; & a lot cheaper than buying locally, I found out! Hope this helps you out?! Good Luck!

I am in zone 5 so I really can't say. But mine is doing fine indoors. From my experience is living in both Florida and Texas I would say this will be fine in your area

Not sure myself about the zones nut I live in Colorado and my plant is healthy, but I keep mine indoors with plenty of light and away from frost.
