Christian, Beverly was one of those that would dwindle for me. I was able
to get a beautiful clump the first year but it was gone the second year. Did
use it. Got it again and I'm trying the "neglect" strategy! <vbg> Need to
check on it to see if this has worked!
Albinos are a pain when they show up in a cross you really want, but since
chlorophyll is totally missing there is no cure. I understand they are quite
common when working with variegated foliage. I was lucky enough to
experience this with two seedlings in my first year. Just one of my learning
experiences. But in the past twenty years I've seen less than half a dozen. (Watch
me get a dozen this year!)
