Re: new flower scapes are there!
That makes sense. I have also had significant losses when I start cutting into
things this late, but it could be because everything here is in pots, which is a
little riskier. Do you have no problems with rot on things that were divided
this late in the season? Fungicide? I can't count the things I've lost by
trying to get greedy late in the year. I wouldn't mind trying it again but I'm
afraid to do it on anything valuable, and if it's not valuable, why bother?
