please describe Dark Star; thanks.

I find Uzo No Mai impossible to grow. It is also slug bait. Best bet is to
plant it in a terra cotta pot--a small one--at bottom put in pea gravel and
very little soil on top of gravel. Put pot in saucer and keep it watered.
Spilt Milk---I just happen to think this is not a very distinctive cultivar at
any price. It is somewhat of a freak. The white washing varies so much from
plant to plant----you are only lucky if you get a good specimen.
Dark Star?--Well, at the Iowa Convention, Roy Herold and I were chatting and
he looked at my belly and told me that I should have named 'Flat Clyde', 'FAT
CLYDE'!!
So, I have NO comment on his Dark Star.(:>)
The rest are super plants!
