RE: Aconitum and all of the rest...

Mine has done fine so far. I have moved them four times and had them for five years.

I'm also in Zone 5, and  nurseries here do carry Daphne but say it doesn't do all that well...whereas garden clubs we've lectured to in Zone 6 tell us it does well there.

Subject: RE: [GWL] Aconitum and all of the rest...

 

Hello. I am in zone 5, Indiana, which I think has become zone 6 or so they
tell me.

My favorites are heathers - they bloom in December and January here and yes,
they are perennial - Akeiba, Daphne, Encore Azaleas - three years running
and no problems, Crepe Myrtle - again 3 years running and no problems, roses
- some are still blooming and hellebore and H. Arnolds Promise - both
bloomed during the winter months with snow on the ground.

I have been seeking Aconitum without any luck. I did finally locate some
seed and am starting them this way.

I am a real biggie on "what will bloom all winter long?" I am not going to
protect it, baby it or fuss with it in any way. That includes all the
tropical plants I grow.

Garden designers seem to focus on 'winter interest' instead of 'winter
blooms.' I think this is a real let down to the public because people miss
out on great plants due to lack of knowledge. When I went hunting for Daphne
I was repeatedly asked - by garden centers - what is that? - PLEASE -

Ok, enough of my two cents -

Sheri - who is determined to have blooms 12 months of the year outdoors in
Indiana!
