?? How the heck do you still have blooms in july.?? Or are they not still blooming.

I planted some , they bloomed a week or so and that was it, then the rest of the year they looked like grass that needed mowing.

Actually, the pictures I am posting right now are from earlier in the year. However, yes, I still have some blooming. Just took pictures of two more yesterday and it looks like one more will be opening later today. I guess I will still have about 12 - 18 more blooms before the plants go summer dormant.

 

I have found that as soon as the plants start putting out the flower scapes you should fertilize (I use a liquid fertilizer for faster absorption) and water them every day or at least every other day.

 

I do have many plants and some are more mature than others so I get the flowers for a longer period of time.

 

It's too late to do anything different this year but next Spring you might try the fertilizer/water idea. Good luck with them!

Thanks for the luck but I am in an apt rather than house now, the exposure is dark in the winter and hot as hades in the summer, so although I am good with plants, its an uphill climb for anything other than cacti right now, for me.

Im still impressed though.
