Title: Ask a question about Besseya wyomingensis
Post by: Leucogenes on March 21, 2017, 12:29:31 PM

I got some Besseya wyomingensis last year. After an attack of lice, she grew backward and then completely disappeared. I thought I lost her. Now I see that she drives out again very well.

Here is my question ... does it generally return in the summer? I like them very much and hope for flowers this spring.

Thanks Thomas

The Besseya we have grown have been completely deciduous.  Regrowth each year was not very early .

Thanks for the info ... Maggi. Has she ever bloomed with you? With me it is still small.

B. ritteriana got quite big and did flower - not exciting!  Ian removed it, he  preferred his pet Dandelion!!

I have now found three plants, which were also affected by the lice in the last year. These also drive very well again ... ;D ;D
