JoO goes completely dormant under the growing conditions
it has on my place. For me, depending on those
conditions, OB-s, OGB-s and RB-s tend to all go dormant.
They generally aren't much different in their behavior
than those with more aril content. I have found that
different locations result in different behavior. E.g.
with two clumps of AT LAST, one went completely dormant
very early and is just now reappearing while in another
location the clump never went completely dormant. The
clumps were from an original clump divided and in the
original clump it always went dormant. JoO grew rampantly
in place for about 5 years with prolific bloom, then
started to decline. Dividing and replanting year before
last started the growth/bloom all over again, though like
nearly all the arilbreds this year, the bloom froze out.
Try some of Mathes's intros. They seem to be really
strong growers for me in terms of arilbreds. Don't know
why.
