Sorry for the delay, but I did want to report to you, Robert. One
Cal-Sibe, HALF MAGIC (Farmer, 1985) has survived multiple winters for me
here in my part of upstate NY--and blooms, also, though I wouldn't say it
thrives. I tried a few others and gradually lost them. Never tried any
from seed. Never tried any pure PCNs.
Sino-Siberians are easier. Tamberg's BEAUTIFUL FORTY grows and blooms
well. I know other folks who are successfully growing DOTTED
LINE--stunning! I am currently raising a bunch of seedlings obtained from
SIGNA sino-siberian seed. We will see how they do thru the winter, but I
expect most will do fine if I can keep the blasted deer from eating them.
Good luck!
