Re: Re: CULT: bloom on potted rz

Hi, Janet:
I've seen a couple of commercial growers who routinely raise their TB
stock in
pots so that people can buy them when they're blooming.  I've bought them
that way.  I think they'll do fine until they outgrow the pots.  We're
zone 5:
-20 to +100+. (One nurseryman near here raises daffodils the same
way--in pots,
so that people can buy them in bloom.   He used deep mulch over the pots in
winter.  Don't think you'll need to do that.)  Good luck.
