Re: Two more I. tridentata pictures

---

The conditions vary. I have some in containers with drainage holes part way up
the sides to create wet conditions without mosquito problems. Others I'm
growing in 5 gal plastic pots that I try to keep well watered. It sounds like
the wettest conditions I'm creating are only marginal for good blooming.

Thanks for the information.

Ken,

 

 Yes I contributed to SIGNA I. tridentata seeds that I collected in the wild during 2003.

 

Obviously climate could make a difference in the bloom you are obtaining and what I obtain.  I grow mine in containers without drainage and therefore they are growing in a bog or semi-aquatic environment.  It has been my experience that they do not bloom normally unless they receive sufficient water. Several inches of water over the soil level is ideal.  Under what conditions are you growing your tridentata?
