Re: perennials DIGEST V3 #213

I have noticed that they arrive very dry! good advice to soak them - Thank you.
The only thing about them is that they tend to be too dried up to do anything.
I always soak the corms overnight in warm water before planting.

That way at least some of them are usually viable.
Gene, I am looking at the spring blooming poppy anemones, Lord Lieutenant anemone, and the Grecian windflowers. I want to plant them under some box elder trees I have near the street. A woodchuck once lived in the culvert there and we have a history of beavers in the "pond" right there. Skunks and chipmunks also do a lot digging in the bark mulch.
Something ate every bloom off the bleeding hearts this spring and every time thereafter that the plants managed to produce more.
On the bright side, I don't really mind because I consider it a throwaway site - anything but crabgrass along the street is a plus!
