I've had just as many Gilbert Wild first year blooms as Fima, just the Fina ones are actually the right root. There are varieties that will never do well for me no matter where they come from. My task now is to identify the ones I need to move or change my care of and to get them
In an environment that gives them the best chance to thrive. I'm hoping most of mine will be in that category. Then I need to get rid of the ones that will never do well in CO and replace them with similar but tougher plants
