I bought a Watsonia at a show, couldn't resist it. I don't have a frost-free Gh so I'll wrap the pot in bubble wrap an hope for the best. Stunning coour.

When it dies down Heron, you can empty out the pot and store the tubers/corms exactly like one would Gladioli. Basically that is what it is. I have W, flanaganii and I just dry it off and put the pot in the shed for the winter.

The Watsonia isn't hardy, so it shouldn't be planted out until May in full sun, and then lifted and stored for the winter. Belladonna lilies should be planted in June/July in a warm sunny position, at least 6" deep. It looks as though you'll have to store that, too!
