Ken..arrived!!
Great shape too!
You are a master packer.

I planted up to the bottom green fan..that right?

Healthy stuff
I did not separate the ones attached...that right?

I would show photo but this joined me

Wow, a pet snake, huh? You can separate or not separate the clumps. It doesn't really matter, Rosie. Yes, just plant to the level where the fans begin. That's it. Use the sphagnum moss for whatever you wish or just bury it alongside the roots. Water them in when you plant them and try to get water on them every other day unless your soil retains lots of moisture. How much sun will they get, on average?

A good amount where I put them ..and I sprayed them for good measure just to train the deer.

The soil could be better...but I tilled in compost and in the fall will put bone meal and mulch well

Thank you again for a grest deal and it was all packed so well too, all nice and healthy.

Now along with these will be larkspur, alyssum, amsonia, iris, globe amarynth, nigella, and cleome

May be a bit over zealous but we will see what works

Looking good Rosie.

Finally a bloom!

Mine are just now starting to bloom too. Yours are right on time, RJ.

Ok cool then let me know how much they are please and I will sure give them a try. I live between charleston and Myrtle Beach near the lake (Moultrie).

Wonder why mine are so early I already have fat pods weighing down the scapes. I'm still getting a few blooms on some plants but they are all about 90% done.

Can't wait

Suga, you are far enough inland, a good two hours NW of me, the blackberry lilies should do very, very well for you. I am envious.

Daniel, perhaps you have more perfect growing conditions than I. Even though the Leopard Flower will grow in all kinds of "poor" conditions, having great conditions makes any plant take off. More sun, more fertile soil, fertilizer at the right time, and plenty of water, simply gives you a leg-up when growing. Also, the simple fact that I grow so many in 4-6" pots, greatly restricts their ability to produce flowers and then seed-pods rapidly. That's my experience any way.

@Suga, I am sending you a T-Mail.

Awesome!!!

Oh, Ken! I just got this...amazing packing, and "she" doesn't even look like she's taken a break! I'll be out and planting in just a minute. Well done!!!

Barbalee. I average shipping over 300 boxes of plants each year, and after doing this for almost five years, I have got it down to almost a science. Most people complain that I "over-pack".

Not a teensy complaint here, Ken! When I got it all totally out and ready to plant, I found that one section is even blooming! I'm totally impressed.

Not me. I have the hots for good quality bubblewrap ...and pink was a bonus!

Woot, woot, Rosie! I lucked out with green!

Maybe it was green...minty....

It WAS a thousand degrees as I unwrapped and I was seeing stars!
