| They don't have to be lifted in Qld, just ignored while they go dormant in winter. If they are super-crowded with off-sets in your original pots, try separating them or repotting the whole into a larger pot, about July. Put a bit of Blood & bone or well composted manure in the pots, hold off watering till august, they are tough critters but very rewarding in flowers. |

| They grow wild in Tasmania partiularly on old cow pasture, so must stay happily in the ground for many years |
