They have not bloomed yet, and with every spring going by, less of them show up in the spring. At first I couldn't ignore the irony in "Easy to Grow Bulbs" name. <br />I have only two shoots coming up right now, ie - one bulb is still alive. They shoots are looking their very best and this one was planted in a container, with very good fluffy dirt.<br />I will not give up. I'm going to get another bag and try again.

I just bought a bag of 10 today. I have loved them since the first one I ever saw, so I just couldn't pass them up. I will plant them the end of next month and now I know to plant them in a sandy mixture with added bone meal. One plant I think will go great with these is a red yucca, and possibly a blue. They are also desert plants so they should go together. Maybe underplant with Sedum. I hope everyone has good luck with these showy flowers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-72120070864519960762013-01-25T06:44:56.448-08:002013-01-25T06:44:56.448-08:00Re blooming: bone meal bone meal bone meal.Re blooming: bone meal bone meal bone meal.Gita Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883735348008779245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-17251797803164838912012-03-16T07:04:37.416-07:002012-03-16T07:04:37.416-07:00Yes, yes, drainage!

Dig the hole, put a hill of sand in the middle and drape the legs of the plant down over it, then fill.<br />The point is not to let the plant to emerge too early. And to have quick drainage.The Garden Coachhttp://www.vsion2vistagardencoach.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-40147606018624180222011-04-21T03:32:16.293-07:002011-04-21T03:32:16.293-07:00I had two root crowns bought a few years back. pla...I had two root crowns bought a few years back. planted them in spring.

My 'Cleopatra' did famously the first (last) year and are multiplying like yours. They were mail order, planted in the fall, in a berm with filtered sun.
