These bulbs came with HUGE Stalks so perhaps they are more like bare roots? Anyway I put him in a pot and I could see immediate growth pushing through the center of the top. But then they just stopped growing so I pulled up an article and it says that is typical of this species to sprout and stop. It says it can take months or even a year for it to begin growth because they are shy growers and very sensitive to being moved. They are pricey at full price but they are really big!! About 4 in across and over a foot tall.
Slow growing but large plant.
I haven't planted it yet, but man is this thing massive. I'm very impressed and will order more 😍
I received 2 corms (1st order with HBF) and was delightfully surprised at the size of what was sent for the price listed. 2 VERY large mature divisions. Well worth the price (even if at full price) for the size received. Thank you HBF!
This plant is gorgeous ! The leaves will start to open up and it is this gorgeous purple. I have 2 of these. I think this is the perfect plant because I love plants for their leaves, but this beauty has Lily flowers in the middle!
