needrain said:Mine are also in containers. It may be a one time thing for some of them. The weather has been unusual with lots of rain and less high temps. While it may be a one time performance, it still demonstrates a cultivars' ability to rebloom when conditions are right. How often do you change out the potting medium? I have to do that with some this year.
I usually start them out in 2 to 3 gallon containers, then pot them on to larger containers after the first or second year. Once they are in the largest container, Each spring I top dress with a mixture of compost, alfalfa pellets and milorganite until they reach the size where they need to be divided. I have too many in containers so I can never get to all that need it done before the summer heat and drought arrives. Then it's just a matter of trying to keep everything watered. They do dry out a lot. I need to downsize. Especially now sense we are getting more hot temperatures than what is our normal for here. I think they must have switched our weather on us Donald. We got your heat this year and you got our cooler temperatures. Lol
