Try SUGAR BLUES.  It's a lavender blue TB with an absolutely delicious 
sweet scent.  It's also one of very few surviving TBs in my garden this 
year, and I'm about 200 miles north of Mpls.  I do have a few other TBs 
that survived with larger, more vigorous clumps, but they don't have the 
same degree of fragrance as SUGAR BLUES.
