Re: CULT: ETIS club survivors

Linda  --  COFFEE WHISPERS is the only one of these that I grow.  It was
among several received last spring from Tempo Two, was potted here for
several months to allow it to acclimatize before setting it out in the
garden, and was planted in the root ball.  It didn't bloom this spring, but
has increased and is the greenest, tallest thing in the garden.  The foliage
is 33" at the tallest.  At this rate, I'm expecting very nice bloom next
spring.  --  Griff
