>I like Siberians! Which two would you grow? You are on the Sibrob,
ask them as well....don't expect to get only two with that
group. ;)
SKY WINGS (light blue and very prolific - oldie, medium season)
INDY - early, big diploid and gorgeous, deep red-violet with
blue influence (modern)

Good - you are better off without them. :)

Medians, like all bearded, would love less rain than I have. Don't
know about inches of annual precipitation.
IBs:
HOT FUDGE (yellow & reddish-brown with a white influence)
SMITTEN KITTEN (salmon pink in my acid soil but very hardy)
SDBs:
JAZZAMATAZZ (never heard a bad word about it...prolific)
REFINED (reblooms for me and is a yellow bitone)
MDBs:
CRADLE DAYS (yellow with a dark spot - REBLOOMS here)
DITTO (white with dark pumila spot, listed as a rebloomer)
Cheers,
Ellen
