I am sorry I missed that part of the message. That changes things

Ellen has brought up a very valid point here. Also, some sources of
Siberians ship so late in the season that the plants do not have enough
time to properly root before winter, which causes the plant harm or even
death.
Thinking of Siberians, CORONATION ANTHEM, MARANATHA, ORVILLE FAY, and
STRAWBERRY FAIR are still alive and growing here. However, long term
survival is very much uncertain.
The native Fall Wildflowers are at their peak, and the show is
spectacular. I especially love the native Liatris that is up to six feet
tall.
