Re: more info?
Hello Susan,
Both of these are new to me. I took Hanbabusea in a trade with a gardening
friend in Sweden. According to him this is a new plant just coming on the
collector's market from China. I am told it has a bloom shaped like a
campanula.... in blue. That is about all I know at this time.
There is a so-so photo of Ranzana in Dan Hinkley's book The Explorer's Garden.
I ordered mine from Asiatica and they have a web site. Know I saw a good photo
from them on another list and purchased 3. http://www.asiatica-pa.com
If both do well in the garden, then I will probably end up with them in my
nursery in the future.
