Well, no. That generalization is not even close. It is very species dependent. I am getting some tropicals with profuse flowers while most of the hardies have not flowered at all. I have 5 species that will flower through ice. Tropicals. I have sold and planted 28 in the last 3 days and have to do 10 more tomorrow. The last of a six day run of 10-12 hours days. But I have to start getting caught up on my customer waiting list. Right now I am down to less than 100 in my inventory. But I am also expanding outside inventories in ponds I manage. I hope to be carrying 250 onsite and have another 250 offsite. Right now I am carrying over 30 species. The tropical species I have in stock outperform every hardy I have, all season long. In lower temperatures. Earlier and better.
