Thank you for that good info!
I agree it is a nice plant either way. I purchased it from Bluestone. I sent them an email. They are superb so I know they will figure it out.
My only quandary is that Bapstisia can get large. I only have limited space. They don't transplant. So if it is simply australis and they send a replacement I would have to sacrifice this one. I guess I will have to tear up some lawn and make a new bed!
