Re: yellow aconitum/ now Red Lobelia
Hello again Al,
I see where Vivien has answered your questions about the Lobelias better
than I could. Isn't the list wonderful? Always someone on hand with personal
knowledge.
And speaking of... personal experience is the best teacher around.
Nothing like taking a few plants into the garden and personally killing them
to find out if they are hardy, or heat tolerant, sensitive to winter wet,
etc. After all, not mater where the plants come from they all end up in YOUR
garden where they have to make it or croak.
