I don’t remember where my purple shamrock came from, but I know I’ve had it for a long time–maybe fifteen years or more. The foliage is amazing and the flowers are charming, plus it is a bulbous plant which makes it pretty forgiving of bad treatment. It will go dormant when unhappy and then spring up again better than ever when conditions improve. It also increases generously.
My future plans for this plant are to break off a few small divisions to have some extras to share next spring. I should put this plant in a better pot, as well, since it is in black plastic now.
