I don't know what they are but they get really big every year.

The guy at the local garden shop told me to put super phosphorus on them and I just did. I also fertilized heavily too. He said the super phosphorus will make them bloom but to only do it a couple of times during their growing cycle. I will have to go back and ask him about that as I was getting info on all kinds of different plants. Information overload....LOLOL.

Yes I just leave them in the ground I didn't know you were suppose to did them up and take them in that would be a lot of work since there are ten of them. The garden guy also told me to cut back a few but that just seems cruel. So I just won't let any new ones come up.
