Remember the tiny maurelii plantlets that I planted out last year? Here they are this spring:

There's a thread here that shows the progress of this bed, but I can't find it.

Pete: I'm just west of you in Longview, Texas. I have two large Maureliis that wintered fine this past year.

The pseudostems suffered, but it didn't collapse to the ground. Both of mine are massive now. Zero protection. In fact, I mentioned in another post that Maurelii and M. basjoo on on par with how quickly they reinitiate growth after cold. And again, Maurelii doesn't pup without help, so that is its limiting factor.
