Here, in Zone 3, EDITH WOLFORD lived through the winter and bloomed. It was
planted as a first year rhizome last fall. However, it promptly got rot
following blooming and I stopped THAT! and have now placed it in a new spot,
but it has been hurt by the rot.
All my TBs are now in a new bed which is sandier and I'll see what
differrence it makes. so for, no rot for 4 weeks which is something.
I'll second Clarence's statement that those who don't branch out are missing
something. I have about 150 TBs 30 SDBs 6 Sibs and 4 JIs. until these
number come into better balance, it's no more TBs for me.
