John and all:
Almost every time I hear an opnion from John , I find it to reflect my
experience. This time however, I must say that I am finding some
differences. I recived a relitivly small 'Heaven Scent' this year in
early summer. I put this plant in a pot in very good soil and placed it
in a sunny location. I kept it WET ! About four weeks later, (Late
June) I set in a well drained ( but moist) part of my fields, that has
7-8 hours of sun a day. The plant REALLY GREW ! I had to use a chain
saw to keep it in hand-- OK ,OK ,I may have streached it a little with
the chain saw part--it was a hand saw!
