The quality of these plants sold under the label B H & G is on a
par with Schreiner, Cooley, Keppel, Black, etc., at least here. If
whoever is supplying these rhizomes is growing them that well,
why can't they get their act together on proper identification and
labeling?
Locally, in our garden shops we find the same quality rhizomes
sold by Van Zyverden. I have found these to be correctly named.
Other stuff sold under the name B H & G, like roses, is
incorrect too. I would not buy anything from Wal*Mart or B H & G
unless it is blooming and is true.
