Re: Indian Paint Brush geoff replies

It's my observation that paintbrush, in the wild, is the most prevalent in
hay meadows that are mismanaged, as far as hay is concerned, typically
harvested for hay in August or September. The assumption drawn from that
observation is that paintbrush will do better with less competition from the
grasses. I'd say emulate what happens in those hay meadows.
