Okay - back to the hardiness discussion of a few weeks ago - I postulated a
theory that those TBs with a purple base to the foliage performed better in
cold climates. As I recall, nobody came forward to confirm or deny this based
on their own experience. Has anyone tried ZEBRA BLUSH (or any of the other
variegated foliage beardeds that we have discussed) in colder climates (zone
6 or colder)? What about green leaved varieties with purple base colouring?
Are there any variegated foliage IBs or BBs - even SDBs???? I believe that UK
gardeners could kill for something other than varigated forms of pallida!
There is so much to learn!!
