Thank you for that explanation, Donald. I assumed most quarterbreds
would behave like beardeds and retain their summer growth. At least that
seems to be the case with the few I have managed to keep alive here -
except, of course, JoO.

Then it's a darn good thing I dug and divided it this year! The clump
was very crowded.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. What I'd really like to try are a few
RBs and RB-s. My understanding is that they should be able to handle
cold country reasonably well.
Ah well. More for the wish list.
