| plugs and bare root treat about the same. Phals can bloom at under 24 months old from seed. A four inch spread on a plug can bloom within 7-9 months so it is not so surprising. I put a lot of plugs in 4 inch pots last summer and bloomed only one of the 25 I kept this spring. They were blown around from hurrican katrina so it may not have been from the pot size, but this year they go in smaller pots.
