My purple Shamrock came from a grocery Store mark-down card after St. Patrick's day last year.
It really did good outside all Summer--but then it reached a time where the leaves started yellowing and getting thinner.
I read up on it a bit--and learned that it wanted a dormancy period and tried not to water it for most of the late Fall/early Winter.
My daughter really liked this plant--so i dug up a few of the small bulbs/corms it grows from and potted them in small pots--thinking I could give her these plants for her window boxes on her front steps. Sorry to say--so far--NO life in them!

I would like to ask anyone out "THERE" what they do with theirs.

Thank you, Gita

This was it in May of last year.. Very pretty!
