Re: Frosted Velvet, MTB
This one is so cute but it just refuses to grow for me. I have had it for probably 8 years and have seen it bloom maybe twice. Amoenas are my favorites, and I love MTBs too. Wish it did better here.

I'm sure you already tried this. But have you tried growing it in another bed? Some times that's all that is needed.Garden_of_Mu wrote:This one is so cute but it just refuses to grow for me.

I have an IB that would not bloom, but still sent up increases, for 4 years until I realized the clump was just a little below soil level (the rhizomes we're not covered with soil). I dug them up as a whole, filled some soil in, and had 8 stalks the next year.
Somethings to check and/or try if you haven't already.
