Re: Hepatica was: drought tolerant/ Asarums
Hello Marge,
Yep. I believe it was you who passed on the tip about Oliver a while
back. I followed up and ordered some tissue culture plants from him to see
how they would do here for me. The Asarums were tempting, but $2.00 each
plus shipping. Not bad, but to grow them to the size I would need for sales
would require three full years plus any losses over the years, and the
minimum quantity was a bit too high for me. Would push up my costs higher
than I like, meaning I would have to price them in an area most people do
not want to go.
Perhaps I will change my mind later, but want to see how I do with the
plant I ordered.
