I would happily try these plants if I thought they had the slightest chance of surviving here! Anyone care to venture a guess? I live at 7000 ft. elevation. Santa Fe has a long and consistently cold winter (a warm day is in the 30's, but we can go weeks with temperatures less than freezing), a hot dry spring and summer with a "monsoon" season usually late July through mid-September. I put quotes around "monsoon" because the afternoon thunderstorms usually build, go kaboom, and then clear up again. We are generally arid (up to 20% humidity). __________________________ Barbara L.
