FEED BACK and VM are both great growers here (FEED BACK isn't a good
bloomer, but it does grow) and LACED COTTON is a longterm survivor here,
so that should be a good combination for good roots.

Laced Cotton, & Violet Miracle) >
Interesting thought - makes sense to me!
One of the IMMXCSONG rebloom seedlings produces offspring with ferocious
root systems and very healthy looking foliage. Still playing around
with it to find a good match for good stalks and blooms. I must be the
only pollen dauber in the world who makes crosses from the root system
up!
Fortunately, the bees here have other things on their minds <g>
< Believe those with heavy root system have more of a tendency
to be
rebloomers!!?? It might be worthwhile to mark those
for later observation.
