| I love these plants. My favorite is called "Toffee Nosed". It blooms later than my other plants and it usually puts out a second bloom later in the season. It's a great plant. Sequim Rare Plants has a good selection of these and they have awesome customer service. They sent me a bonus plant of another variety too. I was very happy with them. They bloomed a few weeks after I planted them. |

| I grow several of these, including 'Percy's Pride', 'Green Jade' and the seed grown 'Flamenco'. They appear to have varying degrees of hardiness in Zone 4-5. The three mentioned seem to be quite hardy for me (in southern Ontario) but I have lost others, such as 'Little Maid'. 'Nancy's Red' is another one whose hardiness is questionable for me. I have two plants of NR in my blvd. that were planted in 2008. They didn't do much last year (as small plants) so am waiting to see what happens in 2010. NR is supposed to be hardy to USDA z.6. |
