>>>>>I've never heard of planting watsonias 12" deep, but will give this a
try.
 Is there a reference for watsonias that indicate which ones have W.
pillansii in their background?

Hi Tony,
Those I have planted this depth include forms and hybrids of pillansii,
vigorous forms of borbonica, angusta and other vigorous sorts which are
un-named here for various reasons. The important thing is that the bulbs
have to well established before they can be literally plunged deeper.

Sadly I can't think of any references for Watsonia hybrids at all, there's a
lot of work still to be done, and especially in the US re. the hybrids once
bred by Mrs. J. H. Bullard of LA.

Best Wishes,
Dave
