Becky, "Pack's Pride" arrived at end of Maryott's season, and I potted it. Bill's plants acclimate very well and they usually go directly in the ground.
I have bought a lot from LA, and those from Florida and nearby need to be potted, brought indoors, planted next spring.
"You Got The Look" came from Pete Harry late May. All from P Harry were thriple fans. I divided them, and potted as always. Several of these either have bloomed indoors or the already have scapes. When I start buying again, I will buy from P Harry again.
I have bought a lot from Michele Taylor, James Hall, and Mark Sattelmeir. I certainly will buy from them again.
The potting mix:
Alfalfa
Epsom salt
Insecticide granules
Slow release fertilizer
Pre-emergent herbicide
I also started a Daconil fungicide ritual because the second year that I brought plants indoors, I had rust. In the garden rust is not a problem since the cold winter kills it.
