Gene,

   What a fascinating plant!  I wasn't familiar with Leucosceptrum at all.
   Is it one that you're going to carry in your nursery?  How cool that
   it's hardy through zone 5a, too!  How long does it bloom?

   I've been growing Deinanthe for a few years now, but they really don't
   do much here.  They seem to be extremely sensitive to heat and wilt
   frequently (even with water) and I suspect that I may need to move
   them since they haven't grown much.

   And thank you for reminding me -- I need to get some Anemone in my
   yard.  The ones around here are all in full bloom and are gorgeous.
