RE: Perennial suggestions for Craig

Thanks, Lorraine.

You say you're in zone 8.  But where exactly are you?  Perhaps this is a
topic that has been covered time and time again in the past with no
resolution.  Maybe that's why I'm not getting any response to my recent
posting on heat zones.  Is there a difference in heat zones and climate
zones?  I just noticed last night (in yet another catalog) that I'm suppose
to be in climate zone 5 or 6 (can't remember exactly which one).  I would
like to know, for sure, exactly which is correct so I know when buying
plants.

Thanks,
