Question
Merrill Jensen –
Good day! Are you growing this plant in Oregon? And if so, do these bloom for you? I’ve been growing this from your seed here in Alaska at the Jensen-Olson Arboretum in Juneau since ’12 and they have yet to bloom. Just curious to see if they need more summer heat that what our maritime climate provides. Thanks!
