Cyanastrum cordifolium var. compactum

Alberto,

This speaks much more of my ignorance and dumb luck than of any skills
at growing plants. I had no idea that Cyanastrum was considered tough
to grow. Now, I'll probably kill it. In fact, I only purchased it
because of an email you wrote some time ago where you described it. I
had never heard of it or seen it before, but then one year it showed up
in a catalog listing a couple of years ago. So I purchased it on a lark
because you mentioned it and I thought I'd give it a try, even though I
didn't know anything else about it.

Should I now be looking for Walleria? What is Walleria? What other
cool-o neat-o geophytes are out there that none of us commoners knows
anything about...? :-)

Wow Lee:
This speaks for itself of your superb skills as a a
grower. Cyanastrum is a tough, tough guy (or gal?) to grow. What's
next, Walleria?
Congratulations
