Assuming you are talking about TBs: CANTINA, IMMORTALITY, CLARENCE,
TOTAL RECALL and SIGN OF VIRGO are the only ones I grow but only
because I prefer the other classes. I think Lee DeJongh in Wisconsin
grows a number of TBs in Zone 3.
The historics like QUAKER LADY and MME. CHEREAU are new new in my
garden but how about CRIMSON KING which is considered an IB and other
median-types that are in your catalog, Graham? :-)
Endear your customer to you forever by recommending some Siberians
and bearded dwarfs. :-) Almost all do well in Zone 3.
Reporting from snowy-ice bound Northern New Hampshire which was
declared a federal disaster area yesterday by the President.
