for them. Too hot? Too dry? Are their cultivation requirements that
different from TBs? The MTBs look especially marginal. The IBs and
SDBs not a lot better. >>
The dormancy habits of medians tend to be different from the TB's. How they
look in the winter is not a good comparison for how they will perform at bloom
time.
The dwarfs and IBs have i. pumila genes and the MTBs have i. variegata. Both
of those species send up entirely new foliage in the spring.
