If you can follow Deb's procedure of planting in the ground and watering
twice a day, that would be a good technique. If they also had some afternoon
shade, even of a temporary nature like shade cloth, it would be useful. I
have even used the $4.00 plastic lawn chairs as temporary shade for new
plants.
I would recommend soaking the roots in water for at least 12 hours and up to
24 hours before planting. Whatever you do, do it soon.
***** Deb, Gull's Wing has/had? a bloom yesterday. One of Christy's Japanese
x Siberian seedlings is late in its blooming. Of course I have a couple of
rebloomers blooming, Sugar Blues and Lemon Reflection. Both have a nice and
strong fragrance. *****
