I'd go for the glasshouse if I were you David, unless you can keep it on a patio or under the eaves somewhere.
Thanks for clearing that up Diane. Now all I need to know is if anyone UK based is growing Lapeirousia oreogena?
David, have you seen the ones for sale on eBay? http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/exotic-plants-de/Sue
A few people are growing Lapeirousia oreogena. There was one on display last year at a meeting of the South African Bulb Group, but I can't remember whose it was. I have this year sown seed of it, but only one has germinated - this is pretty much par for the course as many of the Lapeirousias are notoriously erratic about germinating. I would guess that hardiness for outside is untested but it should be OK under cold glass and definitely so under just frost-free conditions. It's a great shame they are so tricky to germinate as they are superb plants - especially oreogena!!
