I HAVE SEEN WHAT SOUNDS LIKE DIETES IN SEVERAL PLACES IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA--WHERE IT GROWS VERY LUSHLY--IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA--SPECIFICALLY
AUBURN--IT ALSO IS USED IN PLANTINGS AROUND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS--BUT THE
CLUMPS ARE NOT AS BIG AND LUSH AS THE ONES IN SOUTHERN CALIF--BUT AUBURN
GETS SNOW-SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR--AND IS OVER-ALL COLDER. I HAVE
TRIED TO IDENTIFY THEM--SO NOW, AT LEAST, I HAVE A POSSIBLE I.D.--
I COLLECTED SEVERAL PODS WITH RIPE SEEDS, AND WILL TRY TO GET THEM SPROUTED
AND GROWING THIS SPRING-- I DOUBT THAT THEY WOULD SURVIVE OUR COLDER WINTERS
HERE--BUT THOUGHT THAT I WOULD GROW THEM IN POTS AND BRING THEM INSIDE WHEN
IT STARTS TO GET COLD--
CARRYL IN WESTERN MONTANA--ZONE 3/4--WHERE IT HAS BEEN ZONE 3 FOR MOST OF
THE WINTER THIS YEAR--BUT WE HAVE ABOUT 8" OF WHITE MULCH THIS YEAR!
