Joanne, I do hope you'll submit that "blurb" as an article here! Be much easier to copy it off that way!
By the way, I have an Osteo that I have managed to keep alive for several years on my back porch, which I find amazing. I'm generally the kiss of death trying to overwinter anything here.
I finally took some cuttings last year (the ones I mentioned earlier in this thread) and the little rascals just bloomed in my kitchen window! Yea!
