Thanks for coming over Barb. I guess I wasn't thinking you were quite that cold. What the heck!
Steph, there really are some nice new Asiatics. And some now are slightly fragrant. But I would give some of the OTs a try. It doesn't make sense they would be hardier than the Orientals, since they are Oriental X Trumpet, but they seem to be for me.
Oh, and I would try to buy them in the spring if I were you. Let them get established over the summer.
