This is far too much work for me. Try ridging the soil and planting spurias
on top of the ridge--kinda like ridging for early germination or flooding,
etc. Whatever you want to call it--get them above the surrounding soil. It
worked for me. The more I think about Spurias the more I miss SOCIAL LADY,
COUNTESS ZEPPELIN, & BARBARA'S KISS. I also grew a beautiful bright yellow
by B Hager, TEMPTATION, (? second generation on this line) but it didn't form
a good clump. They did all live.
Although I tried to remember to withhold water in the summer, I must admit
they were in the spray pattern for some tall bearded's and were often watered
along with the TBs. Overhead sprinkler. They received afternoon shade.
Other than the planting, I did nothing to baby or encourage them!
