I'm glad to hear that Linda tried PCN seeds, as I did when I first joined
WNEIS 3 yrs. ago, but I had a 0% germination rate. Howsomeever, I know of
one iris grower in Region I (New England) who had some growing in her garden
that had over-wintered. I'm not sure if they're still there, though.
You're probably aware that some work is being done on Cal-Sibes (PCN's x
siberians and vice-versa), so maybe that's the way us less-favored guys will
get to grow them!
