It was 'Aurea' which we sent. Bear in mind that these were dealt out to
members and undoubtedly there were variations in gardeneing skills among them.
It is my recollection that there was a note on the report to the effect that
pallida var. was not planted very well. To be more specific I would have to do
an archeological dig through my notes.
I can't say that 'Argentea' is any more tender but it does appear to be more of
an iffy grower.
