The plants have spread and look healthy. But no blooms.

It has the most delicate beautiful flower I have ever seen on a wild flower. After reading your info we will clear a portion of our bed in hopes the seed will produce next year. So excited about this plant. We live in Brunswick co. NC and according to what we read it is rare in this area.

At my homestead the woods in Wetumpka, FL, the landscaping goal is to try to limit introduced wildflowers to seed from wild plants growing within this drainage, Bear Creek. A bit up slope from me are sites with thousands of Blue Curls showing off right now, mid October and I'd like some to come closer.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531170084656330035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615802895251532423.post-1641705982526140022011-05-09T13:55:35.289-07:002011-05-09T13:55:35.289-07:00This plant was recently offered at my local native...This plant was recently offered at my local native plant center, so I was wanting to learn about it.
