    Recently purchased one of the above, it had only one flower on it when i bought it and since then nothing!not a sniff. The tag says that it flowers in Spring and Summer so i just wondered as to why there aren't any more flowers?

    They like to grow in the same conditions as bluebells and snowdrops. Once the flower has finished it will begin to die down and go dormant until next spring. Mine are now setting seed. I have to confess that I have never managed to keep them alive in pots though they do well in the shade garden.

    Mine grow like weeds, they have just finished and now dying back. They do not like to be moved, but I am going to have to do it as they are taking over.
