Of course Cardiandra was in Dan Hinkley's book - The
Explorer's Garden, but since there is no longer a REAL Heronswood, where would
one find it? I tried Arrowhead, but not there. Gene? Where did
you obtain yours?
Hinkley says it tolerates temps to 10° F and perhaps
lower. Then he goes on to say "Little information...but my educated guess
says...5-9, perhaps colder."

Joanie's right - looks lovely - shade/woodland. Yum! Any idea
how hardy? I could only find 1 reference - think it will do in zone
5?

Gene...just checked out the Cardiandra
alternifolia...zounds...gorgeous...is it a small plant? I recognize the
Hydrangea in it. What can you tell me about it? Thanks, Joanie Anderson

becoming more and more aware of hydrangea relatives.... top on my list of
performers is the quiet little Platycrater arguta. Goes with anything and is
a subtle charmer. Blooms are like pearls over glossy rich-green long leaves.
Just added Cardindra alternifolia to the azalea area with Nicholas
Hakonechloa and Heartthrob violet.

So what
showstoppers have you had in your gardens so far? What's the
plant
(or combination) that left you in awe of Nature and your abilities
to
cultivate her?
And I mean that in a good way, because
otherwise mine would have to
be Bishop's gout. I wonder if I will
*ever* be rid of that plant. :)
The only thing that seems to kill
it is Packera aurea, which is
another one I'm fighting to
eradicate. Curse the Cincinnati Zoo
and Botanic garden for showing
Packera to me in
flower!
