Thank you, Janet, for posting your list. It was very interesting to
compare your survivors with my own. I'll have a nice trade list ready
for you next year. ;-) It was not surprising to see some of the same
cvs on both our lists, but I was a bit surprised at a few that made your
list but have died (or nearly so) here.
LOVER'S LANE and GAY PARASOL (!) died off last winter. MICHIGAN PRIDE was
knocked back to a single fan. LEPRECHAUN'S DELIGHT (one of my absolute
favorite littleuns) is sadly one of very few dwarfs that isn't quite
hardy enough to make it here. I'm not convinced my clump's entirely dead
yet, but there's sure not much life left in it. The vast majority of
MDBs and SDBs do very well here, though. I'm always surprised when I
lose one of those little troopers.
I'm still not sure about IBs, BBs, and MTBs. I haven't grown enough of
them to know how they'll perform as classes in my garden. So far,
though, it looks like IBs and MTBs might do well, and BB's might be
problematic. I added a whole bunch of new IBs and BBs and a few MTBs this
year, so I'll be getting a much better feel for their performance over
the next several years.
