bloom season

A few days back, Walter asked if any of us who grow SDBs have them grow at 
registered height.  Well, yes.  I find that if they don't get too much warmth 
early on followed by the usual spring freezes, they will get to the proper 
height.  The ones in my extremely exposed main beds and the ones in tree wells 
usually do well.  It's the ones in the protected south-facing bed that often 
bloom down in the foliage, undoubtedly due to overeager stalks getting 
frozen--I also have trouble with the TBs and arilbreds I mistakenly put in 
that bed, so they are obviously going to have to be moved.  This year (oh, 
okay, okay!).
