Dear all,
Living in zone 8-9, I am o refrence on hardiness. But I resow many of the
cultivars/species with varying results:
Alberto Castillo: mostly true (with some interesting light bleu forms)
Chorlotte Bishop: only 25% is pink
Froyle Mill: 90% true
Rolf Fiedler: 100% true and also multiply rapidly by stolons. Jim in sandy
soil it is potentially "weedy" worth a try in colder climates.

One recollection was that I never knew of any self sewing in
colder climates. I assume these are akin to 'Wisley Blue' or typical
unflorum. I wonder if this is the result of multiple clones to start
with? Are commercial stocks all propagated clonally?
Do I need seedlings to encourage its weediness?
