| Anybody have any luck growing the yellow one, I. pallida? I have the orange one naturally in the Piedmont but would also like to have the yellow one. I see it in the mts. in NC and have even tried to get it started here, but with no luck. Any suggestions...other than more rain or cooler weather. |
