Rogan,

Ismene x festalis multiplies freely here for me, offsetting very well.  That's why I'm wondering why the Elisena is recalcitrant.  ;D

Hi Paul,
I've yet to flower the one I bought from a usually reputable grower here in Vic, but it has split into 4 growing shoots this year! I think it'll need to be repotted! When's the best time?

Fermi,

It goes totally dormant for me here, so I'd be thinking that would be the best time to repot.  Mine took a year to settle then has flowered every year since.  Mine came from BHT in Victoria originally and I am very pleased with it, other than it's reluctance to multiply, which is certainly no fault of the seller.  ;D

Same supplier, I think (must check label!) so hopefully it will flower when it seetles in!
