Has anyone in zone 6a tried growing these two plants? Anyone with high
humidity and temps in the summer have luck? And (whine, whine) why won't
fuzzy-leaved plants grow well for me?

If I might be permitted to make a response.
The very small hairs on the stems and leaves that cause the fuzziness trap
moister out of the air causing the plant to rot.
This is also a problem durring wet winters.
Lychnis coronaria VAR. atrosanguinea was one of the first plants I ever raised
from seed. I just love the silver hairs and the bright carmin-red flowers.
Easy plant for a dry sandy or even clay area. Plant in groups of five or more
plants and what a show!!!
