let me know what you think of the planting method......believe me it has become my method only after many seasons of mistakes etc. Having the plant root really hydrated and the root ball loosened and separated by water not hands has increased my survival rate and escalated first season results.
i am jealous of your lemon chiffon ....i just can't seem to get that one going, altho this one is my only second one and i am sure there is a chance it will zoom next spring.
perrins pride is a favorite of mine...altho mine was very slow to establish, it is now still on the small side but the flowers are a gorgeous matte purple..plum purple.... and the sepals re curve a bit for a nice flower and the blooms last a long time without fading or being disturbed by the elements.
her is perrins pride in my garden this year.
