I grow at my garden without any problem next spuria species:
I. sogdiana
I. halophila
I. notha
A pair of seedling unknown parentage, GOLDEN LADY and FAROLITO (I need its
photo to make sure in it) grow like weed and bloom plentifully. Even
EVENING DRESS bloomed last rather cold summer.
It's remarkable that halophyla, GOLDEN LADY, FAROLITO and one seedling was
planted with JIs in boggie peaty place and gone out JIs from there.
To my mind a problem of cultural spuria in northern region is insufficient
summer heat.
Juri,
in Moscow, were is a foot of snow at my garden.
