Cindy,
Not sure why Kasparek's stuff would do poorly for you. It is bred to be
hardy. We have Tiger Honey, Baboon Bottom and Gnu Blues and they have done
well. Ensminger's cultivars seem to have more trouble. Maria Tormena has
taken a while to establish and Isn't it Something is still doing poorly.
Very Varied seems to be a better grower.
