RE: [SpaceAgeRobin] RE: SA inhibiting seedling

How does Conjuration do for you with appenages. Its very reluctant to put them out here and when it does its only the first few blooms.

Also which plant in PP heritage is the SA

PURPLE PIROUETTE (B. Hamner, R. 1988). Sdlg. 83-301. TB, 38" (97 cm), M.
  Ruffled deep purple; white beard heavily tipped purple. (Princess Gloria x Navy Strut) X ((Liberty Royal x (Touche x Latin Lover)) x Princess Gloria). Hamner's Iris 1988.
