Re: Queen of the Prairie

Alan

I once rescued a F. rubra from in front of a highway buldozer.  I dug the 
large plant and replanted it while it was in full bloom.  I cut the blooms 
and watered it well.  It survived as if it had never been moved.  Two years 
later I split the root into many segments planted it an inch or so deep, 
mulched them well with garden compost, and they all took off.  Most bloomed 
the first year.

I tried to germinate the seeds but had very poor success.  Root division 
seems to be the way to go.
