Re: Artemesia Oriental Limelight and more winter kill

Cheryl, complaints I hear from another gardening site indicates that many,
many gardeners lost Coreopsis 'Limerock Ruby' and a slightly lesser number
'Sweet Dreams'.  Apparently the hardiness of 'LR' is closer to zone 6 than
the 4 that was indicated.  My 'SD' came through, but I didn't have 'LR'.
Just acquired the latter this spring.
