Dear Christy and others with Signa seeds. Here is the order of
germination of the seeds I ordered. These were chilled only by
Mother Nature.
1. setosa
2. lactea
3. laevagata
4. ensata
5. versicolor
Now, when these grow large enough to be removed from the pots and
placed in 'blooming' holes, how much shade do they need? I am
afraid that I may have too much sunshine where I plan to put them.
Actually, it is full sun! But, I can shift some things around and
provide afternoon shade if they require it.

gawjus and lacy and not just another white...the stalk
is super and well branched and survived last night's noisy storms)
