Karen, you once told me to put the tiny Lobia Cardenalis directly in the ground, and now I believe you. The tiny ones that I planted into pots, have all been eaten, or something, because they are no more. I still have some in the gal. jug, that I winter sowed in, and I would really like for these to survive.I will have to do something, because they are still in the jug, and I have to extract them with a kitchen knife. I guess what I'm asking is, Do I prepair the spots that I want them to grow on, and get them as weed free as possible, then lift, and plant where I intend for them to grow? I love the flower, and want the hummers, but I can't see these plants maturing this year. Am I wright? Thank you Mike
