Moving Jack in the Pulpit
Comments (12)Jacks move easily. Not sure where yours are in the growing process. Mine are just peeking out. If you dig deep enough and get a good clump it is possible to not even disturb the roots and corm. I have moved mine around my lot often. I have some in pots that do return each year. Now or after they begin die back are the best times. If you move them while they are blooming they may die out but will return next year. The lilac you can also dig a clump of root stock out. I was told doing this will shock the new clump and it will take five years to bloom..you may be better off just starting from nursery stock....See MoreHow much moisture for trilliums and jack in the pulpit?
Comments (15)I don't know about Trilliums, but jacks CAN skip a year, though it is usual. The corms would still be firm though. You received these in May? I wonder if rather than sending you dormant plants ready to sprout in 2016 that the vendor took 2016 plants, removed the foliage and shipped. If that is the case they will not sprout until 2017 anyway. I love our native jack and have it here and there in my suburban garden, where it slowly spreads and sometimes appears in surprising places as seed gets spread around. Conditions here are "average". It certainly seems adaptable and can take some drying in midsummer where it generally dies down anyway. I have a couple Trilliums but they have not done as well for me.......persisted and bloomed for many years but not really increased in size much....See MoreHave Liriope, Jack in the pulpit, Coral reef sedum.
Comments (2)I am interested in your Jack In The Pulpit. I think that would be an interesting plant for a park I volunteer at. I take care of some flower beds. Please look at my list and see if there's anything you'd like. I also have pictures of my park flower beds. Heidi...See Morejack in the pulpit not blooming
Comments (2)My JiP bloomed a couple of weeks ago (in NJ), so yours should have bloomed already. Mine did not bloom the first year it was planted either, as I remember, so just try to be patient....See Moredirtbert
