Misawa77 said:The idea of keeping the rhizomes apart by at least 12 inches is because of their growth. If you plant closer, you will need to dig them up sooner since they will begin to blend in with their neighbor. The tri-angle senerio is for creating a "mini-clump" with one variety. I don't believe they are trying to indicate you do the 8 inch triangle thing with different cultivars.


No - I have multiples of the SAME cultivar, and want to plant them together - I have (3) of Quaker Lady,
(3) of Prairie Sunset, (3) of Queen of May, (2) of Argus Pheasant . . . . etc., so I want to keep the same
cultivars planted together.
