I originally planted 12, had 6 the first year, 3 last year, now only one. Sob, sob. I hoped for more! I'll have to order more bulbs for next year....

dont they last long normally or do you think they rotted or something barbara,maybe plant in pots and put the pot into the ground that way you can bring them in for winter, would that work :o) im no expert lol

I`ve had mine for years Spritz, they can take a long while before they flower but once started they seem to last for ever.The advice I was given was to neglect them and they`ll reward you and it worked.lol.

That's why it's so frustrating - they are lovely! They should be grown in a warm area - so the bulbs bake in the summer, apparently.

I haven't tried to feed them or anything....so I suppose that counts as neglect, does it?

These are a new temptation for me - to which I succumbed this morning on my way to work....walking past the Country Market I spied a pot of nerines and snaffled it up quick!!! Love them ... was told they like full sun and poor soil?

8 Oct, 2009

 

Yes, spot on! Good luck with them...:-))

Mine are flowering under a tree, near a small wall, hence heat and poor soil and doing well, but also they have been there over 5 years now.

I shan't give up....they are such beautiful flowers!

Had another look today, and yes they are beautiful, spent the last few days trying to add photographs to my garden, has taken me ages, much easier if you could just slide them in off the desktop!! still finding plants I had forgotten as well.

I grew this in the summer and it flowered when we were in France, just fancied a change....!!

Is it an Ixia??

12 Oct, 2009

 

No it is a tiger lily, Tigridia, comes in lots of beautiful colours, thought you might like it..........lol

this is beautiful. i had 3 flowers last year only one this year, though the leaves came through.

SeaB do you lift them?

21 Oct, 2009

 

Ooops - yes, Dd - I do like it! Nerines aren't usually lifted, Dd. They should be hardy.

21 Oct, 2009

 

hi dottyd2, no they are in a pot and the pot goes into the green house to stop the pot breaking in the frost. so i suppose i do lift them in a way.

23 Oct, 2009

 

Are you back, Sbg? Did you enjoy your trip?

23 Oct, 2009

 

oh yes il pm soon.

23 Oct, 2009

 

OK. :-))

23 Oct, 2009

 

Spritz, I was asking about lifting tigridia, crossed wires.......

24 Oct, 2009

 

Ooops again! Yes - tigridias aren't hardy, I agree with Sbg. Lift and store, I'm afraid.
