Sue - Thanks! So do you think that dormants that require only a brief rest period do survive in Florida? All 9 of the "dormants" I have are doing well right now, but they are new to my garden (planted in late summer/early Fall 2015). I know sometimes it takes until year 3 to find out if the cultivar will survive central Florida climate and temps. Often they do not come back by the 3rd year. Though I have only previously had experience with seedlings, not mature fans.

I was hoping maybe some others here on the forum that live in the south have had good experience with some "dormant" cultivars and would be willing to list those they are very happy with. I do know that there is one or two folks who say they will NOT try to grow any more dormants at their locations in Florida.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
