Seedfork said:I think you are right about the plants being right at home, I think there is a lot to be said for buying plants that were developed in or near your own garden area.
That would probably never be an option for folks from areas like mine. It's not gardening friendly country at the best of times. Actually, the plants that have outperformed everything else here this season came from New York. Cultivars from Linda Michaels and Lori Jones were outstanding in their second year hear. Lots of increase and lots of bloom. They may change their mind about that after another year. Who could blame them?
It's just awful right now here in my spot.
