Just popping in for a moment.I think there is some really valuable info being presented here. Your list is amazing Lynn.
Fredegar is a very reliable winter performer for me outside in the wet. so is A. speciosum. I kept some Pacific Feather Power out of the rain this year and they are beautiful while the ones that were out in the rain are dead. It is evident to me now that my soil mix does not drain fast enough for the amount of rain that we have had this winter. (perhaps straight pea gravel might work :lol:) Interesting to hear from the California folks that they have had the rain but not freezing temps and their "fuzzys" seem to be doing ok. Hmmm (We need an emoji for "I'm pondering that one") Did I get that right? Perhaps we will soon get some reports from places where they are just coming out from under the snow. I would sure like to go to Europe and see the species in their native habitat! Thanks everyone. I'm "over and out" till after the H.P.S.O. sale.
