Here are the DL I bought at end of season sales last Fall and meant to get in the ground... and looking close, some from the year before THAT.... they bloomed their heads off, even this crowded. But the pots I separated were a 100x better... DL like Iris, will tolerate a LOT of abuse. Then you pamper a little, divide, fertilize, whisper to them, and they bloom like mad.

I planted DL on a bank 7 years ago. For one thing and another, I abaondoned the bank. When I came back to it last year, cleared off 12 feet tall briars and pine tree volunteers, underneath, blooming merrily away, were DL. I cleared everything, lifted in early spring, replanted in good soil, and WOW they bloomed!
