They - along with the Ladyslippers I have never come up in the same place twice - therefore I would think that possibly they seed after flowering ???? I haven't found the answer to that in the gardening books I have Quote \| Reply \| Report

The nomadic behavior you describe though does sound like typical biennial restlessness. I think I would still classify them as perennials. Try marking their location with a stake and and follow them a couple of years to be sure your memory isn't faulty. Quote \| Reply \| Report

It's hard to pick one without the other, they normally die. I have them growing up back of my place. Check this website out: http://www.naturepark.com/trilinfo.htm Quote \| Reply \| Report
