The blooming time varies from April to August, depending on the species. When the plant is 2 to 3 years old, the mother plant forms a flower.
The centre rosette usually forms a flower which then begins to grow upwards
to between 10 and 15 cm (see photo). The colour of the flowers varies
by species but they are usually pink, pale yellow or white. When the flower
has withered you can remove it. The shoots around the mother plant do
not die. You can let these grow further or remove a few shoots and plant
them elsewhere for them to grow. The rosette shapes produce an average
of 2 to 6 shoots each year, depending on the species. The species with
small balls produce several shoots each year.
