Hi Farida, This thing flowers only during July August. If you can get a rhizome immediately after the plant has dried up, you store it in a cool dry place for a year and plant it in June, you may get the flowers. This is just my logic. I do not know if it will work. In any case, I will mark the plant and try it once it is dry. Regards Yazdy.
