Re: REB: Rebloom in Summer
Tennessee Gentleman has to feel at home to do well. He needs to have Tennessee
Woman nearby, and performance is greatly improved if he is in a bed with some
pink plastic flamingos for decor. If seeking continuous bloom try planting
around that abandoned pickup on cinder blocks in the side yard, and inducing a
blue tick hound to roll on the fans every now and again.
I'm sure that Sterling Innerst meant it as a joke when he got flowers with
buckskin-colored standards - no Tennessean he - but I sell about all of it I
can raise, and it is highly prolific.
