The bloom spikes pop up in the spring anywhere from late April through late May. The bloom spikes appear before the leaves do, so they seem to come up out of nowhere. We've got them growing in several spots on our property, and we have put markers out so that they don't get mowed by accident.
The spikes are anywhere from 12 inches tall on younger plants to 24 inches tall on mature ones.
