Chusquea Gigantea flowering :( WA state

[ryanchristensen]

One of my favorites is going bye bye

This is one of about 6 clumps around my yard (key for privacy)

Im going to try and collect seeds but I haven't had any luck with this in the past.

Best,

Noooo!
I'm watching mine every day - no signs of flowers yet (Victoria, BC). I checked with the nursery I bought them from and his plants aren't flowering either. Fingers crossed - but I fear it's a timebomb.

How long have you had them planted?

I got a three culm clump from someone near seattle about eight years ago. It is a pretty weepy variety but I didn't have it in full sun. Does yours look like mine?
Best,

Mine are in full sun and are quite a lot more yellow than yours. The tallest is probably 9 feet and stock straight up, but most of them are pretty weepy, a lot of healthy leaves though. I'll take a Pic tomorrow. Not sure how old the culms are, two years maybe?
