Gen said:Do you know what zone most of these are hardy to? Or do you have to dig them every fall?

Thanks!


That's a rather complicated question...I'm in z6 and nearly all of them I try are in fact hardy here if planted in a dry spot for winter, and heavily mulched!
Even EE that are only hardy in z9-11...come back for me...

That said I dry store most of mine inside in closets and the crawl space...
It allows me to force them early in pots and have half grown specimens by the time I plant out in may!

That's how I get them so big, even in our short season...
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
