SELLING YOUR HOUSEThe Latest Info on Renovating Your Home to Sell
Pro advice about where to put your remodeling dollars for success in selling your home
Full StoryI planted some cheap bulbs (corms, whatever) from Home Depot last spring, in a 20" plastic pot. They came up and the foliage looks a lot like liatris. They didn't bloom or anything at all. I just left them in the pot over winter, on the North side of my house.
They began to grow new spikes of foliage last month, but it's still only about 4-6" tall. Lo and behold, there is a bloom stalk coming up!
I didn't think these were supposed to bloom until summer??? Anyone else have any experience with them, and has anyone else planted them in containers? I don't know if I should wait until they are finished blooming to plant in the ground, or what. I read something on Dave's Garden website that you shouldn't move, divide, or do anything until they start producing offsets, and that they get pretty big (the plant).
I would like to have input on how to maintain this plant. Thanks! Sometimes the things you get and never expect to really do much are the ones that surprise you!
