Author Message   Zephirine  Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 12:56 am EST :    I moved this plant from my previous garden in spring 2005... It stayed in its (small) container until I planted it last august, when we experienced a cool period after a very hot july... It had bloomed, but scarcely, in spring, among its fellow-potted cousins : When I planted it, I cut back most of the foliage, and installed it in a fairly shady border...in September, the clump had already formed again a very nice mound of foliage (Sept 26th): And..Surprise, surprise! At the beginning of november, a new series of floral stems appeared...and bloomed! (nov 8th) What is incredible, is that it never stopped blooming since!!! Here is a pic taken on december 16th : ...And another one, taken these last days (january 20th): Two and a half months in a row!!!! A hard-headed plant for sure! Did it ever happen with your asphodeloides too? Please remind me to cut it back again next summer! Lol...
