Louisianas

Good morning folks,     

It is still morning here.

I guess my experience with poor bloom on Louisianas was likely insufficient
water. I had a zone with mini sprinklers and they got what seemed like a lot
of water to me but perhaps not enough. I am a self-admitted water miser.

I dug them out because I felt that even what I was giving them was an
unreasonable amount in this arid area where in many years we face
restrictions on our irrigation water.

The flowers were gorgeous and I envy those of you who can grow them, but, I
love the arilbreds also and they are more suited to our environment. I must
admit though that since my modest success with Pacificas here when grown
from seed, I have wondered if growing LAs from seed would work better. How
do you germinate the seeds? I have tried several times with not a single
germination. Do you remove the thick corky covering?

Cheeers,
John Montgomery
