Re: Cult: Rebloomers in the Cold

Laetitia,

Can't believe that you posted this question just as I clicked on, 
planning to give my recent experience with buds facing the cold.

I had that quandry (to cut or not to cut) and finally decided to cut 
the stalks and bring in, sticking them in cool water in a vase on the 
windowsill.  Those showing color I was pretty certain would bloom 
inside (Grecian Goddess this time), but those with tight buds I held 
out little hope for.  But every one (Concertina this time) has 
bloomed inside for me.  And now the other two tight buds on Grecian 
Goddess are beginning to bloom.  Truly feels like little miracles of 
winter.

where nights are close to freezing, but most mums and even petunias 
and roses are still blooming their little heads off.  Sure helps to 
get through these days.
