June 26, 2012Q.Seven (or Six) Apostles
I recently bought a plant that has 7 blooms that look like big yellow tulips. The plant is about 3-1/2 feet tall. I have no idea what the real name is, but my sister thinks it might be called Seven Apostles. Have you ever heard of one of these, and if you have, how do I take care of it? It is my yard at this time and I just wondered if I need to bring it in the house this fall. I appreciate any advice that you can give me about this bush.

August 22, 2015Q.Transplant walking iris
How do you transplant your walking iris after it starts producing "babies"? Mine is growing out of the pot and I need to thin it and start new pots.

August 23, 2015A.Propagation of these "babies" is easy. You can either set each baby in a 4-inch pot of soil while still attached to the mother plant, or simply snip the babies off and repot as needed. Both methods work fine.

I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. South AmericaQ.How can I grow Neomarica caerulea from seeds?
I have a few Neomarica caerulea seeds and don't know when or how to start the seeds. Could you help me, please? Thanks!

September 24, 2015A.Research shows that starting the seeds right away after harvesting from the plants is the best.
Set the seeds in a good quality potting mix and keep moist and warm.
I was not able to find a accurate time frame for germination.Here are some links with growing information.

Acworth, GaQ.Walking iris
My potted walking iris (new last fall) did not bloom but one stem has bent over and a new small plant has started. What should I do with the new plant?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
April 26, 2016A.Walking Iris may be more suited to growing in the ground.
The new plantlet grow would normally fall to the soil and root and continue to grow in the garden.
This is how this plant get's it's name as it spreads or 'walks' through the garden.
You can plant the new plantlet into another pot if you like.Here is a link with more information.

February 2, 2022Q.Why Did My Neomarica Stop Producing Runners?
My plant is a descendent of cuttings I obtained from a friend’s plant in 1975! Over the years I have propagated hundreds of cuttings, lived in areas where I could have plants in pots indoors and outdoors. I moved to Florida 6 years ago and was able to bring 1 small pot. It finally grew 2 runners that bloomed but only 2 and the 1 I cut to propagate finally grew 1 root after 8 months in water. The pot is indoors, looks healthy. Any suggestions?

Certified ExpertA.This article about their care should help. Make sure they have plenty of moisture and light to full shade. I'm wondering if the container is too small. They need space to "walk."
