A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Help with Blackberry Lily Blooms

Hi all,

Here is my problem. I have a clump of blackberry lilies that I brought from the old place. They are multiplying great, they grow really tall, but the blooms are tiny. Way smaller than they should be. The soil is very rich and well draining. They get full sun.

Can someone help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

Well howdy stranger

They might need dividing, too much nitrogen in your soil or they could be planted too deep.

Ok, I'll put them on the divide list and make sure I don't put them too deep. And I'll see about adding some of the "garden soil" to the humus that is in the foundation bed around where they are planted.

Thanks for the advice.

oH BOO BOO, REMINDS ME, MINE DIDNT SHOW UP THIS TIME.
BET i THREW THEM OUT WITHOUT KNOWING.

PS. TK i HAD TURKSCAPS THIS YEAR .

I have hundreds of seeds for the orange spotted blackberry lilies. PM me with your address and I'll get them in the mail. They are a direct sow in the fall or winter.

Let me check the spot 2maro . I never thought of them till you posted that.

I will let you know. Do they bloom the first year from seed?

The first year you get foliage after that you get blooms.

HEY TK

YOUR seeds GROW QUITE RAPIDLY, LOOK .
