@KOutdoors when they flower they’re stunning! Just a shame they look a mess otherwise. The foliage is like long grass and flops all over the place. They’re a pain for dying over winter too. I started with 5 bulbs and 2 have flowered this year 🙄

Sorry to read that they are fussy divas. Why do plants have to be so annoying at times. Oh well at least you have the jade pollen. 🤣

They’re so annoying, I love them Kerry but I’m not paying for something that’s not guaranteed to come back year after year, maybe some research is needed to find what they like 🤨🤔

@sieveheadsarah they really do rot easily 😝 I leave mine outdoors in the pot all year round now and don’t water them at all until they sprout. Hope you give them another go 😛

comment

@joanboston I’m sorry to hear that 😔 I read that in our climate they are sometimes so late to get moving that it’s too cold by time they should flower. They recommended to move them indoors or into the greenhouse for a chance they’ll flower 😊

Do the flowers last long?

@alan1111 at least a couple of weeks but probably more if it was drier and less windy. I put them back outside as they got too tall for the greenhouse bench so they’ve been exposed to endless rain 😐
