May 12, 2014Q.Dutchman’s Breeches
I ordered a plant from a nursery and planted it under the shade of a large bush in a front garden. The first two years it came up, then disappeared. This year I have 2 but haven't gotten any flowers. The plants are about 8 inches tall, which is taller than the past two years. Do they establish themselves for a few years or have I planted them in the wrong place? My gardens are irrigated every morning and have mulch. I hope you can help me, as my mother always had them and they remind me of her.

June 7, 2016A.This is a difficult plant to start from seed.
Seeds must be fresh and need a warm moist period, following by a cool moist period.
Mix seeds with sterile medium and place in a sealed plastic bag in 80 degree location for 60 to 90 days.
Then place in the refrigerator for another 60 to 90 days before sowing.Was this answer useful?00
