Beth--I am from zone 5, which is why I responded (yeah, but it's a dry zone
5). Santa Fe is at 7000 feet, so we're a good 2 zones colder than
Albuquerque, which is only an hour away on the Interstate. Anyway, the
spurias don't seem to be bothered by the cold much, and I don't treat them
any differently from the TBs except when it comes time for dividing. Which,
to tell the truth, I've been avoiding, but these guys are now 4 years in
place, so I guess this is going to have to be the year...
Barb, in Santa Fe, USDA zone 5ish, Sunset zone 3
