Pretty as the dickens too! Most that I've have or had seem to be quite desease resistant as well. And the LA's multiply quickly.and colonize well. Another thing I'm noticing more and more is that many of the Div. VIII cultivars are not all that climate zone sensitive. Heck, many of these are now grown from central Florida to Alaska by good,caring gardeners.
What will be interesting will be which select few cultivars of today will emerge and still be around 50 years from now. Any Guesses?
