Also I don't think it's a hardiness issue, so covering wouldn't really help. I've been told by several people (in the know) that it's just a less vigorous plant than the yellow.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-79992789976647644742015-02-16T14:12:14.607-08:002015-02-16T14:12:14.607-08:00Oh gosh...that neighbor.
