Pirl- unfortunately, we can't count on our big box stores to carry varieties that grow well for us. Dave and I fuss about this *constantly*.
Tim- Dalias melt for me, and I don't know anyone else who has had success growing them. However, I know Dave's grandma grew them in Florida (go figure). I don't have a full shade area, but that's the only way I'd try the again. I miss the as well- such great flowers!!
