Have also tried keeping it as a house plant, no luck there either. Kath.zone 8b.

They seem to love the conditions in the grocery store where I got them, but don't like my house or garden. I suggest enjoying it while it lasts. gardenbug Ontario, Canada zone 5b, USDA zone 4   Kniphofia  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 03:05 am EST :    How pretty! I wonder if it's a type of C isophylla. Good luck with it Jane! Sue Central Maine z4   Wanda  My Weather Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 06:52 am EST :    I bought one last year, too. I planted it in the ground and the leaves are still there althought it's a bit "winterized". I'll keep you posted. wanda CA Zone 9b   Jane  My Weather Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 07:26 am EST :    Well, I guess I will just cross my fingers and hope for the best. But it is so cute.....for a VERY short lived perennial.LOL Jane Ontario,Canada Zone 6   Carolinebraun  My Weather Posted on Saturday, May 15, 2004 - 11:27 am EST :    I too couldn't resist those cuties at the Philadelphia Flower Show (March 04). They seem to love being potbound; they're currently inside and receive indirect filtered light. I too am looking for more care instructions; the flowers are looking pretty ragged and I'm wondering if I should deadhead or wait and see if they self-deadhead. (A friend who bought them with me said her original flowers all fell off.)
