I got a new one this year from Far Reaches called ' Red Panda' . I love these plants, so unusual.
We are having so much rain this year hope mine are going to be ok. I haven't been out to see if they have emerged yet.

I love the Red Panda but want to see how the Spotty Dotty survives in this area before trying any others. Anytime I look at their site it says out of stock. The Starfish is also out of stock. Right now the garden is in about 2 feet of snow so planting time is quite a bit away. I see that a couple of places have Galaxy so if all goes well might try that one. Wish these were easier to find.

Good to know Rj. They are forecasting more snow for next Sun. and Mon. so I guess I have to wait awhile to find out how they are.

I kind of like that each one is different. I noticed the tag in your pictures has zone 6 , but I had read zone 7 which would eliminate them for me.

Will do. If you ever get out to Washington state you have to see that nursery. They are only open for a short time in the spring.
