Late Winter in Texas
In full bloom in early March in San Francisco. Planted with succulents. Watered once a week. Not invasive so far.
Planted in dark compost with moss behind for good contrast.
This plant is a bit invasive in my yard, but I enjoy the look and blooms. I just keep it pulled out when it pops up where I don't want it.
