I'm in Gwinnett and I have Laura and another one that has come back for 3 years now. They do great and flower pretty much till frost.As they die back you're supposed to pull the stem out instead of cutting it. They just pull out easy when they are ready.

Thanks. About how many hours of sun per day does yours get? I'm concerned if I plant it in the yard (vs. pot) it won't get enough sun.

I have them in 2 diferent places but I guess they get 4 hot hours of sun. I dont think some shade will hurt at all

FYI: From the Floridata website:

WARNING
This is an extremely invasive species. Although it has not yet been widely recognized as an ecological problem, parrotlily has spread into natural areas in western Australia and is likely to do so elsewhere. It is definitely ill behaved in cultivation. It self-seeds vigorously unless the flowers are cut off after blooming. Neglect deadheading or move a few tubers around in the soil and it will spread throughout your garden and haunt you forever. You can pull up every visible shred or even move away and start over with a new landscape. For a time, you may actually believe you have triumphed. But then you'll see that little umbrella of leaves popping up next to a prized plant... Spraying with Roundup just before the plants go dormant will knock parrotlily back, but it will take most of your nearby plants with it - and one or two treatments won't kill all of it.

I'm not a native plants purist, but I'd also hate to have another kudzu or purple loosestrife situation here in GA.

Thanks for heads up. I'll keep it as a container plant on my deck. At the end of the summer, I'll kill it with round-up and dispose of it via a trash bag.
