Harvey Mungaknuts Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Anyone ever have them do this before grow upwards? I even enlarged the bed for them this year and they are growing up and not spreading outward like the past 3-4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staci Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Yes, I have had them do that before. They are blooming. Out of all the years that I have been gardening, I have only had them bloom once or twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilb3314 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I never saw them bloom before. Mine are huge. I've tried them before and they didn't make it, but my hairdresser gave me a start and they are doing great, really big, but not growing up like that. I'm getting lots of chicks too!

Bon Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 pretty sure I read that when they start growing up and get a flower on it, they die. It's the end of their life cycle. But you have all the chicks from the hen, so your plant will keep growing ... except from the one growing up. Make sence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect all of the rain has made them bloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I used to have some, had them planted next to the house. Our rain gutter seam came apart and all the water would come right on down to where the hens and chicks were. They were wet all the time, so they rotted. Never did buy them again. I do look at them at Lowes, but have been doing real good on not buying plants the last two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmyhubby Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Mine did that once before..I was told it's called a rooster. Bon..I have some you can have if we can meet up sometime. PM me if you are interested..but I'll be away from the computor for a few days, starting tomorrow late morning..so don't think I'm ignoring you if I don't get back to you right away. They are in a pot ready to go, and I'll save them for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angeleyes Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Do not laugh but someone told me the tall ones with the flowers are the roosters. Do not know if it is true but that is what I was told. (I am easy to mess with!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracy96 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Wow...thanks for posting the blooming pics. I've never seen them bloom before either. My MIL used to have them and they spread everywhere so she got rid of all of them. I bet she didn't know they could bloom either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
