Here it is finally in bloom! I should have photographed it next to my big head to show you that it's not the size it said it would get to. Definitely not the size of a child's head. It's probably more like a size of a softball. Oh well, at least it bloomed!
Does anyone know, should I dig up these bulbs before winter and replant them again next spring? Or should I just leave them in the ground? It doesn't say on the packaging.
A softball is a pretty good size though, don't ya think? Even of it isn't the size of a kid's head it is still a really pretty flower! You took a great picture of it, too! Sorry, I'm not so sure about digging up your bulbs, but if it were me; I'd do it just in case. Better safe than sorry.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on where you live. I live in Zone 4 and I have to dig my bulbs or they will FREEZE!
ReplyDeleteI store them in my basement cupboard, it is about 55 degrees in the winter there. I store them in a box of peat moss.
You can't let this beauty die!
Oh it is so pretty even though it isn't as large as you anticipated. I would dig it up and replant in the spring.
ReplyDeletegorgeous! Yeah, I think in NY, you should dig them up.
ReplyDeleteI don't dig mine up, but our ground hardly ever freezes here in MS over the winter.
