Granny's gone and done it again

I knew I had a bunch of yellow ones out front . I wonder if the birds carried the white ones over there. I didnt plant it.

Your yellow ones may have gone to seed. They don't breed true to the parent color if they go to seed. I'm cutting all my blossoms this year so they don't do that. You get bigger blooms next year if you do that, I found out. And I have to transplant a bunch.

I love my pure white ones, this is the first year they bloomed.

I would like to move these to the front. They are pretty. Maybe I can sweet talk someone. LOL

Ohh I never trimmed them. I let them do whatever they are gonna do. The picture I posted earlier is from seeds Cap sent me. There 3 yrs old and havent bloomed.

You don't have to wait till fall. You can move them after they are done blooming. Then cut the leaves back to about 6 to 8 inches.

If you grow them from seed they take several years before they bloom. I have some that are about 5 years old just starting to bloom.

I never trimmed mine either. I am just now learning about them.

Ohh I wondered why they wouldnt bloom.

One of them is only about 2 inches tall. LOL

I transplanted them this yr to new dirt w/ fertilizer in it.
