>I agree with Sue about the the throw away plants that you find at these
chain stores. I purchased 6 Japanese Painted Ferns last summer for 50cents
each at our local Wal-Mart. The man in the garden center thought that they
were dead. I brought them home, soaked them in water for a couple of days
and planted them out. They did just great. They just needed some TLC. It
must be our duty as gardners to rescue plants from these chain stores!!
