Linda, next year, remind me to send you some 'fatso' arilbred rhizomes. I have
a collection of Les Peterson arilbreds that should do well for you.
These do extremely well here and do not go dormant. The only
arilbred that totally went dormant this year was SYRIAN
PRINCESS. It is coming back nicely as I write.
I will have around fifty arilbred seedlings to give maiden bloom
next spring. Germination is sparse here and damping off is
rampant, but if you can get the seedlings up to about three inches
they generally can take care of themselves thereafter. There is
very little rot in them once they get started.
