In 2009 I purchased an African Lilly, it flowered in 2010. It got a
Tomarite feed. It hasn't flowered since.

We're 500' amsl and East facing, sop we get the same Winter temps as
Dartmoor (25 miles to the East). Each year, the frosts have reduced the
foliage to jelly. Last year I placed a frost fleece box around. The leaves
survived but it didn't work and it looks pretty ugly :-

As you can see from this pic taken today, the plant has spread and has
developed about 6 crowns:-

Q.1. Is it worth lifting the plant and moving to the East facing back
garden?

Q.2. If yes, can the plant be split into 6 plants?

Q.3. Should these be stored (dahlia style) and planted in Spring or can
they be replanted now. Thanks in anticipation.

I've always believed the evergreen type are not hardy in the UK outside, pot
culture only. My ones grown for seed are the other type and they are hardy
of sorts but position is everything.
