RE: Re: Artemisias/Powis Castle

Pam,

How do you mail these cuttings and keep them alive? What if the person you
are mailing to lives in a colder climate?  Just curious.

 Auralie, watch the one just labeled mugwort...it's a pernicious weed I have
been fighting for 20 years; travels underground by nasty white roots; the
smallest bit of which will create a new plant.

I love 'Powis Castle'....Pam sent me the MOST beautiful cuttings last year
as I had stupidly lost mine - you are right, it's not all that hardy, but if
you have a brain (unlike mine) that can remember something for more than a
nanosecond and you use it to remind yourself to take a few cuttings every
year, you'll always have it.
