Hi Pat,
I have heard this of the MDBs. Personally, I grow quite a number of
MDBs and have no trouble with them. Must be that I have just enough
cold to suit them. How long has it been since you've tried to grow
them? It seems to me that if you can grow SDBs, you should be able to
grow the MDBs as well since a lot of them these days come from SDB
breeding. Also, now they have two or three buds per stem. Ones that
are exceptional in my book (that would be for vigor, health and looks)
are PUPPET BABY, DAISY FRESH, MAYA MIST, TOOTH FAIRY, GRAPELET, JOLLY
JOEY, HEY THERE, GARDEN GNOME, BLUE WIND, CINNAMON APPLES and
SLEEPYTIME.
The only thing I don't like about the MDBs is that with such a small
plant, they sometimes get lost in the garden.
