question for the gardeners

[harley_babes_hoard]

I thought hippeastrums flowered late spring into summer. So why have a few of mine started to flower now. I planted them about 3-4 months ago.

I've only got some miniature ones in my garden Karen and I just leave them in the ground until they get too crowded then I divide them up. I do cut the stems off at the base when they go brown though.

Thanks Deb, that was helpful.

No worries Karen, sorry I don't know more. Your climate is probably a bit different to mine

Karen, just leave them in the ground, like Deb said. I never lift mine and they flower year after year. When they have finished flowering, dont cut off the green stalks, just let them completely die down.

Thanks purple. They're the first flowers I've ever successfully grown and they were from the reject shop 😄

I couldn't believe when they flowered! So I hope they flower again next spring.
