Why don't Lycoris bloom? Could be different things. There are two general sorts of Lycoris -- those that leaf out over winter and those that only leaf out in spring and early summer. Both sorts can use warm summers. The winter-growing sorts are damaged by the hard freezes in my Midwestern USA winters. This weakens them and even if they survive the winter cold, they are too weak to bloom afterwards. The spring-growing sorts need winter cold, like I have here, in order to grow properly in spring and bloom in autumn. They all need some moisture regularly in summer.Also, they mostly need a good generous root run, so all your flower pots are probably not going to help.Hope this helps a bit.Jim
Forty years here and nary a flower. Maybe after the past very warm summer we'll see an emerging stem................johnw
That's patience!
Interesting how the flowers of Lycoris radiata develop over the course of a week.
Flowers have gone over now, and I have ---- a seed! (Just one).
