Re: Kirenshoma palmata AKA Yellow Wax Bells

Hello Cheryl,
    I love the look of that plant when it comes into bloom. However, here in
my garden I gave up on it. Just as it comes into bud, we go into hot and dry
here. The plant proceeded to drop all the buds in resentment. In all the
years I had the plant I never once saw it in bloom. Gave up and dug it out a
few years back. Had it in good soil, mulched, but guess root competition too
up the good stuff just as it needed it for bloom.
    I always have good intentions on staking and strapping... but never end
up doing it... my Matrona sedum is in circles on the ground out here now.
Every year I am going to stake it... but never do. One day I will dig it out
and replace it with something that does not need staking...... simply
because I know me. Good intentions, but ......
