It's just a very fussy plant is all! It was a miracle I grew it once relatively well. Never succeeded since.Panayoti Kelaidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846898350006673316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134648325048818615.post-23159320278501709112013-08-21T19:00:44.173-07:002013-08-21T19:00:44.173-07:00Panayoti, I saw many different varieties of Geum c...Panayoti, I saw many different varieties of Geum coccineum when I visited the Chicago Botanical Garden. They are very lovely. <br /><br />I tried to grow Gilia caespitosa. I managed to get a few seedlings. Unfortunately I planted them in my limestone crevice garden. I did not realize their native habitat was sandstone. Unfortunately, my seedlings did not last long in alkaline soil. I will have to try again this time planting them in a pot with sandy soil. It would be hard for me to grow them in the garden because my soil is alkaline. It is often hard for me to locate habitat information on species available only from seed.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
