I have a shamrock plant that I took outside to transplant into a larger pot and accidently missed a bulb (whatever you want to call them) and now its growing in my flower bed. I like shamrock plants, its even flowering but I wondered if it would come back next year or not? I live in Northeastern Colorado, I want to say thats zone 5?

I've seen it done here in Ohio, I was kind of surprised by it, but it looked fine.

It wouldn't hurt to try.

How magical. That is the kind of gardening I love so much, the accidental and the volunteering; especially if it without you knowing.

Now you need to add something else there too, perhaps some pink oxalis would be a great companion.

Well, it is SUPPOSED to be a tender perennial. I have a purple shamrock planted against the foundation of the house. I forgot to dig it up at the end of summer. It has come back every spring for the last 4 years :D
