Hey Dee & Deb. This is what I got at Lowe's. I read the links you sent Dee & appreciate your offer to send me the Hib. Been wondering how in the heck I can get everything in the GH already & saying, "yes....no....yes, no, etc." ever since I read that. Thank you so very much for the offer. I'm still trying to talk myself into "just one more." I do not have good luck with Hibs in the house. Maybe because of the gas heat???? Killed them 2 yrs in a row before I quit that. Yesterday evening when I went to buy Perlite I just took a stroll around Lowes & found this "Hardy???" & said to myself, "outside plant." Think it is going to be like my "Painted Lady" I bought there. Don't believe it is an outside plant for my zone 8a. Any way, it was less than you paid but it looked like death warmed over & has had branches cut out, etc. Actually thought it would give up the ghost on the way home it was so pitiful. Looks sooooo much better this morning. Which brings me to you, Deb. I will be glad to root you a cutting as there is plenty to take cuttings from. I'm beginning to think this is another 'type' Hib. I keep going back & reading your links, Dee & I'm going to treat it as a tropical for now. May see if I can get a cutting planted out side & see where that goes. Will let ya'll know. What zone are you in, Dee?
