For several years I have been getting rid of my older dormants with less fancy flowers, and have replaced them with fancy
and expensive evergreens, only to find out that they just aren't very happy with our dry summers. Being unable to water them,
I am coming back to some of the older dormants that are more dependable. I haven't ever had an evergreen to freeze out
even in zone 5A, but many don't increase like they should. I still have a hard time choosing what to toss sometimes.
I think I have ordered about a dozen so far, but NOTHING like James and Peter! WOW!
