stachys albotomentosa hidalgo

Love this P...nice contrast of colour...I remember you showing this last year and you wern't sure if it was hardy...obviously it survived....I looked for it, but no luck....Added to my favs...:>)

Thanks Moti, not sure its hardy yet this one overwintered in cold greenhouse. I have several cuttings this year so this one is staying out as a trial, I will keep you posted :o)

It's one to look out for , I hope it stands the trial this winter Ph ... we will look out for the results !

Please do....I was reading up about it too....should take winter temperatures 20-25 degrees F...Is that around -3-6 C?

The lady who gave me a cutting said about -5 so it probably wouldn,t have made it through the last 2 winters here, if it gets really cold I will throw a piece of fleece over to help.

What a beauty, a new one to me....

Thanks Dd, i've had it a couple of years the flowers have markings a bit like a Penstemon, the leaves are supposed to smell of the 7up drink, they certainly smell but im not sure what of :o)
