Hello Claire,
Did you ever find out the source of the siberians with the purple leaves? I would
be interested in both - the one that starts of purple and the one that stays
purple. Would it be possible to let me know the source for either one? Thanks a
lot. Are you busy sowing your seeds now? Winter has come here with a vengeance
after record breaking warm temperatures - very cold about -15 to -20 last night
with a blizzard. I think the Banana Belt Syndrome(La Nina - La Bomba whatever)
has disappeared. Jim in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada
zone 2-3.
