Pure as Gold has been our first and second bloom since moving to Stockton
Ca.2 months ago. (Zone 10) The Rz's had been stored in paper bags for several
months then planted in unamended heavy clay-silt soil. The planting time was
during a valley of low 90's between periods of 100+ August days.
Please note that in San Jose Ca. (Zone 8-9) it bloomed continously from mid
October thru January (Australian Summer?)
Cathleen ,Stockton Ca. only 150 Rz's to go:>}
