minus-squareBob Robertson IX @discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·8 days agoIt is worth the wait. Ours didn’t start blooming for about 3 years, but now it is amazingly beautiful and had been going strong for 12 years now.
minus-squareThe_v@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·8 days agoI had one I planted not come up the first year. The second year it sent up a small shoot. The third year it sent up 4 shoots but 3 of them were smashed by my older sons basketball. The 4th year it grew 5 shoots. It finally bloomed for the first time on the firth year 6 years later it’s a large bush with tons of flowers.
