RE: epis, PD cat now mulenbergia

Kitty, by all means try it.  I grow the two that Dan mentioned and they
are so lovely in bloom.  They just glow.  Of course, I'm in Zone 7, but
would consider growing them as an annual if necessary - they are that
pleasing.

Donna,
Sorry, I misread.  I was comparing +15 with -20, a difference of 35
degrees, since the catalog said hardy Z7-10.  But you're right, it's
only 5 degrees.

It's interesting that neither RHS or AHS list this genus at all.
Botanica shows all their Mulys as Z9-10, but don't list M. capillaris or
M. lindheimeri (both in PD catalogue)

But if Dan's growing it in Pennsylvania, maybe there is a chance for me.

Kitty
