Resprouting Ornithogalum

I have had the same experience with commercially grown Ornithogalums. I believe they have been subjected to forcing. Joe

Hi Andrew,

Our three year old bulbs have returned each spring, blooming right now. Our
soil is heavy clay with tree trimmings mulch. They might be getting a little
summer water from a dripper nearby. Full sun next to a stone patio that
radiates heat. We had little rainfall this winter - about 6" total, less
than half of normal. All this info is anecdotal since we don't grow lots of
them. Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Here's what should be a trivial question - how do you get the commercial
Ornithogalums to bloom a second year, or even to get them to quit dormancy?
Several of my friends have found similar difficulties. Thanks
