Did ya' get 'Tubby Andrews'?

How did you know..... LOL!!!

They are beautiful, very healthy, nice top growth for mail order plants. I potted them up and had them outside today, they got a gentle, soaking rain. I did bring them in the garage this evening, the winds are picking up and I don't want them damaged (not sure if they have been hardened off yet in terms of wind exposure).

I potted them because I have no idea where I'm going to put them, I more or less threw the stuff I had last autumn kind of all over the place after my patio rebuild - in other words, I have no idea where the heck much of anything is back there at this point!

;-) Please let me know what your opinion of TA is down the road/what his performance is like. I've long thought about getting one, but have no clue where it would go, lol.

What else did you get?

That's it. There's little I can't find locally.

I had Tubby Andrews about 10 to 12 years ago. The first couple seasons it stayed small and didn't grow much, but had some nice splashed leaves. After that it reverted mostly to green and eventually I just pitched it as the variegation was gone. I'm not much of a fan of Bergenia so didn't sweat it, but like most variegated plants I should have kept after it better and removed the green portions as soon as I saw them.
