Diana,
I have grown Magic in the past and have seedlings from it and I
currently grow Magic Wish. Thanks for the offer of Lenora Pearl, but I
have quite a few pinks and do not have the time and effort to try and
grow one that will not do well for me. Cannot tell you why it won't
grow here.
A couple of my favorite pinks are Schreiner's Mystic's Muse and Vern
Wood's Pink Starlet.
See you in Dearborn!
