Eremurus, Foxtail Lily 'Cleopatra'

I grew mine in a deep and wide pot for 2 growing seasons and it did very well though it didn't multiply really.

I have tried growing on the seedlings in the ground and in a pot. The ones in the pot didn't survive the first winter and the ones in the ground are doing very well. It looks like I even have new seedlings coming up this year. I am glad for the seedlings because I am not sure I want to divide my mother plant after my research. I may have to give it a try one of these years. Mine have bloomed from the first year I bought it.

It seemed they self divided. In 2023, they did not bloom. I thought at first they didn't get enough sunlight as there were a lot of seedlings of other plants that grew around them. Now I am wondering if they are planted too deep.
