Hummm well that is good to know! The Panhandle of Texas can be humid! LOL But not as much as the southern part!

Things have looked good so far, but I think maybe I will try and water in the early AM just to be safe! It would really make me mad to kill all of this off, and I would be out more $$, time and heartach!! LOL

I have staked a few in sore of a triangular manner. At least that is the way I found after doing a ton of research on the net that seemed to be the most popular! I used three stakes and them used plant tape (Sturfy Strech Tie) in three layers to hold it up like you would do a Mum. It seemed to prop it up some but I don't think it will get straight! Hope that makes since! I will try and get a pic!

They are fixing to bloom so after they do I will cut it back. The new growth is straight as an arrow, unless trying to stake the adults is going to mess it up! LOL

Thanks everyone for your help!
