"I consider every plant hardy until I have killed it myself...at least three times" +More Dear all; I can't emphasize enough how important provenance is to gardeners such as myself who try to grow tender plants in cold climates. Too often plants in cultivation come from only a single or few introductions. I hope you'll try these two new accessions around the country. There are a couple of plants I'd sure like to get from the northern edge of their range instead of the southern plants available now. (or in Argentina's case the southern end of the range) and higher altitude too. Good luck and keep us posted about success and failure (hope not). Best Jim W. Dr. James W.
