Bill,
I am convinced there is a lot of fraud in the nursery industry. This
ranges from butchered "house names" put on already named plants, to
misrepresenting the climate range in which things can be grown.
As for most things, It is better to get plants locally, or from
specialty nurseries that are known to be good. If a new one starts up, one
may wish to try a small order first, and go from there.
