I'm on the west coast of Canada, and I'm thinking of dividing them and planting them out in pots this summer to see if that will get them blooming. I love the flowers in these photos!Helen at summerhousehttp://summerhouseart.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436300684009668766.post-62316461948340305142010-04-24T06:20:21.143-04:002010-04-24T06:20:21.143-04:00I've only just become interested in broms ... ...I've only just become interested in broms ... have only two at the moment.

This is a spitting image of what I have growing in my yard, which was obtained by a neighbor in Orange Park. These are not only hardy in the upper 20's but down to the lower 20s as well! Mine haven't bloomed yet this year since I was dumb enough to divide them right before winter, but the guy I got it from has about 30 in bloom right now!Steve Asbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095474295719758914noreply@blogger.com
