CULT: report on miscellaneous 'new' cultivars

From: Linda Mann <lmann@icx.net>

All of these are in the 'rebloomer' beds with real soil, raised beds,
weeding & regular staring at.

ZING ME - two starts, one bloomed nicely, both plants growing well,
little damage, good increase 

ARMAGEDDON - very pretty, but I don't think they sent me the real
McCoy.  This was a pale pink ground, with a dark rosy pink wash in the
falls, no the deep burgundy with a pink rim that the Schreiner's catalog
shows.  Have other listers bloomed this one.

EASTER VIGIL - this bloomed, but I don't remember it at all.  However,
the plant is something else for health and vigor.  Huge fans, with no
damage.

COUNTRY CHARM - win a few, lose a few.  3 bloom stalks, wonderful growth
thru the winter, then ptui.  Massive foliar injury, some rot.  Maybe if
it survives, it will do better after it gets some Tennessee growth.

TERRA ROSA - didn't bloom (terminal killed on rhizome), pretty bad
drought damage.

RED HAWK - two starts, rot from cold, rot from rain, bloomed on stunted
stalks, terrible foliage.  This one might do better in the gravel field.

BRONZETTE STAR - cold injury, rot from cold injury, tried to bloom. 
Might also do better out in the open.

BURST - slight drought damage.  No bloom.

GLACIER POINT - some drought damage, some cold injury, stunted bloom
stalk - too early for here.

Biggest disappointment was SHIRLEY M.  It has looked so good everywhere
I've seen it around here, I was sure it would do well for me.  Maybe if
it's still alive next year.

only thing left to report on are the 'new' plants from Eagleville, plus
a few others out in the weeds in the gravel field, where I fear the
copperheads might leap out and get me.  So I will finish taking notes
after Roundup.
