from Wal-Mart, and managed to get 2 seedlings from that. They are now
about 12 months old, and each has formed a nice mini-clump. I'm not sure
if they will bloom this year because they seem quite small (<8" tall). >>
Dennis, depending upon what they sold you as I. setosa they may not get much
larger than that. If you have the Canadaian form, now called I. hookeri it
should be about eight inches tall and bloom a bit taller and above the
foliage. Based on my experience you will get bloom in the third year. Others
may have had different experiences, but none of my setosas have bloomed the
second year.
