Hi, I’m planning on splitting my Albuca Bracteata (Pregnant Onion), before it takes over!
Before I throw the ‘babies’ away is there anyone out there who would like some.
PM me if your interested.
Cheers!

Is this pregnant onion one of the ornithogalum family and do you grow it inside or out, I have grown balansae before in the garden but they only last for a couple of years, I have one indoors at the moment and it is doing well, so am in 2 minds as to wether to put it outside or not, any advice would be welcome as I love this plant we used to call it the milkmaid when I was little but cant remember if it was grown inside or out

That's the one Aquilegia. I have put mine outside in the warm summer weather, in a sunny spot, which it loves. However, it doesn't like our winter weather as it's native to South Africa, so I keep mine in the conservatory, which is heated, during the winter months. Hope this helps :)

many thanks Waddy, I will keep mine in a pot and bring it in for the winter, maybe I can keep this one a bit longer, it is lovely at the moment in full flower, thanks again Susan
