<< Dana - thanks for posting the list - I think this kind of info is
interesting
to a lot of us who want to know about vigor of many new varieties. When you
say you don't pamper, have you cloroxed or Cometized any ot the 22 you
named?
Do you have a list of all 235 with notes on how they have done for you and
would you be willing to share?

No, I haven't cloroxed or Cometized any of the 22 I named. This is the first
year I have done that because it is the first year we have ever had any rot.
I cloroxed all 300 of the replants and new ones this year. Let's hope it
worked as I lost about 8 established clumps due to the rot.
I have a list of all 235 with limited notes. I know when I planted them (how
old the clump is) and whether or not it blomed, or rebloomed. Other than
that no I don't. I promise myself every year that I will keep a
comprehensive list of number of stalks, buds, how they hold up to wind and
weather etc. Unfortunately, judging, training apprentices, showing, weeding
900 clumps and working full time seem to conspire against me. If you would
like what I have I will gladly share.
