I'm looking for one.. it's not for me, it's for a friend ...

HELP :) Respond here, email me, anything .. while I realize it's freezing cold for mailing, I'm willing to be patient ... I'm up for a good game of "let's make a deal".

Thanks,
-Jennifer

I've got three that are still gamely trying to bloom right through this awful cold! EMail me if you want, I'll soon be cutting them back and digging up a bit of the 'spread' as they tend to try to take over the world down here in SW Fl!

To tell you the truth, I don't know what variety they are. Two were supposed to remain small - though I'm not sure they realize this! They average a height of 2'. The other's your basic: 3' or more... all blooms start out shades of orange and fade over several weeks to yellow with red tips. This last weekend's frost finally browned their leave tips, but all are still gamely putting up new shoots - I tell you, these guys are unstoppable in zone 10!
