I'll second Mimi's comments Pat, they are rather special 8)
BB Nana's sometimes have to put up with worse from where they originate, here's a piccy of a clump taking the strain in an Essex garden. :o

Emma, not had any flowers or fruit on my nana's as I don't allow them to get big enough.

Roy ;D

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but to save sending loads of PM's I would just like to put everyone who wanted a root of the Kafirs on notice that I will be splitting them soon.  Will PM individually when I send them.

pat after seeing you lovely kafir lillie i would love one for my pond not knowing nothing about kafir i have being lookking around the garden center to buy some tubers can not seem to find any am i looking the right time of year and if any one could tell me when and where i should be looking for them thanks

[Mimi]

Pat my lillies have over wintered in the greenhouse and will be going into the pond  later on in the spring.  They have survived the winter and seem to be thriving. ;D

[Gardengirl]

Hi Dibber, sorry I have only just noticed your post.  Can't think why I didn't get the email.  I would be pleased to send you some of my kafirs but I think it is not the right time at the moment.  If you have not been able to get one by the autumn, just remind me and I will send you some.

Mimi, so pleased yours are ok.  Hope they do well in your pond.  Don't forget to post a photo :)
