I think MS is more like VA than TX in what will grow. I had very few problem growing
spurias in TX and do not remember losing very many over the years. Spurias
are very difficult to grow here, and I think it is because of summer
rain.

Bill, thanks for your list. The only other one I grow on this
list beside SULTAN'S SASH is WHITE OLINDA.
It grows fairly well but is not as generous with bloom as SULTAN'S
SASH.
Most of the posters on this thread are west of the Mississippi. Any others
from the East have success with spurias?
