Hi rob--
Welcome to the list. I know this is a late posting but it's just to let
you know that I am new to JIs as well. But they are so splendid I bought
several this year. the first batch from ensata gardens went in early in
the summer and thrived down near my pond. I kept them well watered i
the drought and actually had one bloom for me. the second batch I
bought from George Bush and they went in late and I hope they do well
for me next summer. they are not in a bog garden becasue i sincerely
hope the deer won't come so close to the house. I'll just keep
watering.
they are luscious looking plants, aren't they?
