Re: desert garden blog

Dear Aaron, it's really sad to see a winter damage on your plants! Sorry for your harsh winter... By the way what was a minimum winter temperature?
One more question: what is an evergreen shrub on one of the pictures?

What kind of protection that would be form Aucuba? Heavy mulching? Or full cover? Did you loose it because of sun burns (frozen soil+sun), drying wind or just frost? I have the aucuba which has been growing for 25 years at my place. It is a successfully growing plant which gets a very light ...

Thank you very much Tim for the tips! I'll try to pollinate next summer. I understand there won't be a result without cross pollination? My flaccida started blooming later than your hybrid did. Is there any reason to pollinate the flaccida genes hybrid with the flaccida genes? Backcrossing?

You might need the plants (seeds) originated from either Alberta or Dakota. I'm not sure about filamentosa but flaccida would be hardy enough in ...
