Darla Brown on Jun 06, 2013After the flower fades, snap off the head (seed pod). They will re-bloom all summer! I have a white one and a yellow one out here in California.Helpful Reply

Melissa K on Jun 09, 2013Amazingly I thought this was what is growing in my yard. I know someone gave them to me but can't for the life of me remember what they are. However, someone said these are small. Must post a picture, but after the bloom faded, I figured mine looked ordinary. Mine are about 4 feet tall, had dainty yellow blooms, and later has the tall seed pod. During their first and second years, I noticed they were so clumped, that I kept separating them and never did bloom. This year, I did not feel like it, so the large clumps actually bloomed! Still unknown as to what mine are. Darn it, thought I had the answers! I thought the lady told me these were tiger lilies, but checked a website and these are not them.. Douglas...need a picture? They are very tall fan-shaped. I will also cut off these seed pods, but want to also know if I can plant them.Helpful Reply

Sheila Suarez on Jun 12, 2013Thanks Douglas! I will sure divide them, these are great plants !! Beautiful flowers! My plants are in filtered sun but they have spread into a nice clump so far......maybe a couple of feet around but now that I think about it I've only had about 6 flowers on it so far, so maybe full sun WOULD be better!!!! Thanks Dana !Helpful Reply

Norma on Sep 21, 2016Hi Laurie, this plant will give you some Seed pods that are between 1/2 to 1" in length. They need to be brown which will then be ripened. Ma Ljubljana e s u re seeds are dry if you want to share with others. I have the light blue in color. Yes they are very beautiful. They will grow from seeds. Keep an eye out and enjoy.Helpful Reply
