Before the fall freeze of 2010, he had them growing outside for more than ten years, one plant fifteen feet tall. They handled much colder temperatures than the 2010 fall event which was an unusual event. Warm days, with a sudden drop into the low teens that night. That event cause damage and death to plants that handle single digit temperatures in the past.<br />John(Aberdeen) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-41915131592226286012016-04-30T14:58:35.300-07:002016-04-30T14:58:35.300-07:00That flower does look just like a dandelion!

All my Schefflera are shooting, delavayi, taiwaniana, brevipedicellata, fengii, minutistellata, alpina, two varities of gracilis (one with lanceolate leaflets, the other with linear leaflets). They all look good to me. Bragging, yes I am. There was a time I couldn't find them but about seven years ago the flood gate opened. I had a hoi which the fall 2010 killed, but there are more in the pipeline that will be made available soon, including hoi. <br />John(Aberdeen)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-45163782682352697632016-04-29T20:31:49.279-07:002016-04-29T20:31:49.279-07:00Love this favorites list, both for the cool plants...Love this favorites list, both for the cool plants and the laughs. You and that tender, shrubby dandelion. I shouldn't judge. I got suckered into trying two Dendroseris from work. No idea if they'll be hardy, but they're in the ground. I've been planning to add some Nolina 'La Siberica', but exact locations have been fuzzy. One spot finally clicked while reading this post, so I'll just go ahead and credit you for the inspiration!
