My seed is courtesy of Thomson and Morgan.  I paid >money< for mine,
which is an assurance of failure in most seed departments.
Neither the Phormium Tri-color, the Musa, the viola koreana, the
hellebores or the Brugmansia 'Blackberry Swirl' has done a doggone

hack up into little pieces and I'm a happy grower.
