bananna, you may have been noticing the difference between spring and summer planting. altho texas is different...but clems i put in in may or early june do take off differently than even a few weeks later and entering summer.
but your larger root will always grow on faster and be a bigger plant than a tiny one, but with your longer growing season i can see how liners might establish faster not giving up months for dormancy as up here.

jeanne, guess it's all how you define sleep, creep and leap. what i call creep is sleep for some and what i call creep is leap for some.
in year two here we mostly have a small plant but very floriferous. my huvi pic was a great example that is the norm here. even with the lost months to dormancy. this huvi was planted in 08......and my mrs chummies i posted a lot of last month were 07.
