Although this plant is recommended for shade - I have always found that it flowers better if it gets some sunshine. Cyclamen seem to take some time to settle in before flowering - I think it depends on the size of the corm.

Again no flowers this year. Seems to be in correct place. What should I do? Also cyclamen amongst them no flowers either.

Hi Iris and Laura,
Yes Liriope muscari flower throughout autumn. They prefer partial shade and acid soil, but tend not to be too fussy about this and can be grown in other conditions within reason. They can flourish without being fed at all, but if you want to, then an application of general purpose garden fertilizer in early spring can't do any harm. Be mindful not to feed them with a fertilizer that is higher in nitrogen, as this will encourage new foliage growth which may come at the expense of flowering.
What sort of conditions do you have yours in? It might be worth relocating them if they are in full sun or shade to somewhere offering more of a compromise.
Sometimes it simply takes these plants a while to settle in and get going. Some people cut or mow them down to the ground in late winter to renew vigour and encourage new growth. This might be worth a try if you have still not had any luck this year.
Hope this helps! Let us know how you get on.

I've just planted a couple of these and did wonder about when to feed - they are supposed to flower in Autumn aren't they?
Look forward to answers

I had no flowers last year. Will a regular feed with Miracle Grow encourage flowering?
