beckygardener,
Sorry to be so late responding, but I am just now catching up after being gone for over two weeks.
I have over 30 dormants in my garden at the moment, but none of them have been here more than three years with maybe the exception of Flore Pleno (I really don't know how long I have had it). I have also had a few more dormants but they did not last very long.
Alabama Jubilee
Apple Tart
Bertie Ferris
Carnival In Mexico
Chicago Apache
Corryton Pink
Crimson Pirate
Endowed With Beauty
Erin Lea
Femme Fatale
Flore Pleno
Fooled Me
Happy Returns
Highland Lord
Hot Wheels
Hush Little baby
Jason Mark
Lavender Stardust
Mexican Sunrise
Mini Pearl
Omomuki
Panic In Detroit
Primal Scream
Rainbow Candy
Red Volunteer
Scarlet Gown
Siloam Double Classic
Smokey Mountain Autumn
Sunday Gloves
Tiger Kitten
Wineberry Candy
Zagora
All of these have returned though at least one winter now. Many of them for two seasons and a few for three seasons. All of these are presently living in the garden, a few look very vigorous and a few look to be what I would call at the present time "weak". I will have a much better idea how they will perform after this season being so many of them have only been here since last spring or even just since this fall.
I do know that Red Volunteer does very well in this area. Chicago Apache seems to be fading slowly over the years, but I do need to see it perform this year before condemning it too much.
Happy Returns does not seem to be very happy at all in my garden.
Lavender Stardust was new last year, but it is very vigorous looking already, huge dark green leaves. I have three different Zagora clumps and they seem to be going strong.
A few that seem to be weak so far (just keep in mind it is early in the season for dormants):
Bertie Ferris, still very small.
Corryton Pink, seems weaker than last year.
Jason Mark, nearly died due to several difficult circumstances but is making a very small comeback.
Panic In Detroit seems to be weak at present.
Primal Scream is still looking puny, but I have seen it growing in gardens near by and expect it to do well, even though it is lagging behind at the moment.
Smokey Mountain Autumn seems to be struggling and is pretty small.
Tiger Kitten is also lagging and looking pretty tiny at pressent.
