This was an impulse buy last year and somewhat of an experiment. It is far from hardy for me in zone 3 but I understood it could be over wintered indoors. It survived, albeit looking a little worse for wear, and has been putting out new growth since going back outdoors in its container, but I have some questions.
When can I expect it to bloom and what conditions can encourage this? Right now it gets some morning sun; I tried it in a sunnier position but seems to flag in the heat despite being moist, somewhat like a Ligularia. Once the shade returns the leaves become more turgid again. I expect it will need up-potting soon; right now it's in a 14", deeper pot. Could the size of the container be restricting it from blooming or are they just slow? Any particular fertilizer? Any other advice, or suggestions? Thank you!
