I have 15 different plants in various stages of growth. Most are 2013 replants. The only one out of the ordinary is the P.tenuifolia ssp.lithophile which I purchased from Klehm's in 2012. They haven't offered any since then so it may be extra scarce. I am anxious for the bloom this year to see them all together. I consolidated all the fernies into one raised bed but have a couple of hybrids separately. Early Scout and Windchimes are similar in that they are red singles but the foliage is different. I always encourage everyone to try at least one fern leaf because they are so unusual. In my area, no one had ever heard of them.
Some new plants may bloom the first year but I normally pinch the blossoms after I see they are what they are supposed to be. They need all their energy to create good roots and extra eyes for the following year. Be sure to post pics as your's progress through the Spring.
