Ditto in Denmark, even in the current heat wave we're having. Just tiny sprouts on cautleoides and being my usual impatient self I had to check that purpurea was still alive in the pot...

Roscoea scillifolia is Roscoea alpina. I looked at the wrong number.

Herman,

Very nice blooms!  I just transplanted seedlings of 6 species of Roscoea.  How long do they take from seed to bloom?

I am in USDA zone 8b where temperatures almost never fall below 15F -9.4C.  Rainfall 50" 110 cm + but none  June-September.  We seldom get snow; but when it comes we get 30" overnight. Soil is sandy loam with a lot of humus.
