Ok, about the price, I don't even want to think about how much they cost...let's just say they weren't cheap ugh! My mom got them for me as gifts though, so I didn't want to be rude and ask, but I took a peek at the price tag in the pot and it wasn't low. It was in a gallon size pot, though, so for a plant that big, maybe it wasn't a bad price...

Hi, I have the hardy glads and chinese ground orchids- plus 14 varieties of ground/rock tulips(dwarf) Check out my tradelist too- If you are not picky about daylilies i have alot of siloams...but lost some of the tags. Email me, we can talk. Thank you, Garden Hugs, Sandy

Heidi - how generous you were with the seeds - package received yesterday with the extras - thanks! I am in the middle of major computer issues, so I have borrowed another PC just to let you know seeds showed up. Thanks again! - Alex

They like average moisture with good drainage, mine just had way too much with that drain keeping the soil too wet but I'd planted it there because it was a moist spot and I'd read they like that. They also do well in partial sun. I sowed mine --warm temps in cups with plastic bags on top to keep moist-- in winter in a sunny window but you can sow in spring, they come up in about 10 days or so. Now that you brought it up, I decided sow some more to plant in some spots that get sun for only a few hours and see how they do. mxk3, first year with no blooms is fairly typical for perennials. By the end of the first year you should have a nice sized plants with good root systems though. I imagine keeping them a bit on the dry side in winter further north would be good so make sure it has good drainage. We had thick ice one year and I lost one to rot on the north side of the house.
