The LR is very tiny, and was so happy to see color coming on this year.

The LL is obviously a heavy producer of offsets. The problem with this one is that there are so many cultivars with this shape and coloration. It will have to make some drastic changes in coloration.

I really like the form of the TR. The color is becoming iridescent, and I love it's thick stolons. This one was pried from the over crowded nursery tray, the offsets had grown thru other plants, thus the long stolons. I will keep watch to see if this repairs itself now that it has room to grow.

I do find the star shape of TL interesting, but that is not enough to save it from the compost heap. It is showing a light pink blush like it's mother does.

Thank you Dirt.
Hope you get some of the new Chick Charms. All but one of the 2022 releases are new hybrids created by either Kevin or Chris.

Oh, I am so on pins and needles. I put in an order to In The Country Garden several months ago and I hope it all comes through.

I ordered Gold Rush, Pink Sapphire, Maroon Mountain, Steel Appeal, Copper Canyon and Gold Mine.

So anxious to get them!

They do a great job, I have used them for several years and have visited their nursery.

Melissa, you will love them.
I only have 'Copper Canyon', 'Gold Mine' and 'Steel Appeal' right now. Hope to get some of the others. They are already showing some great color changes. I set the pots out in the raised beds until I decide where their permanent home will be.

I'll be looking forward to reports on these new ones. Several more are in the works and should be available next year, including one that can reach 14" in diameter. Can't wait to see how you grow that one Melissa!

Interesting that you should ask. I ordered them from a place on Etsy. I don't normally do that but being fairly new introduction, they are hard to find (impossible locally). I ordered them from ThePlantFinder store. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. They were really well packaged (actually the best packaging I've seen) and arrived in great shape. I ordered them on a Sunday and they arrived on a Wednesday (Missouri to Cal.)
