Azalea Jonesboro, GA (Zone 7b) January 13, 2003 12:59 AM Post #448008 Dave, do you leave your Jacobinia out all winter??? I have one that I was afraid to leave out. Sure would like to know if it is hardy this far north. dave Jacksonville, TX (Zone 8a) January 13, 2003 8:20 AM Post #448086 Yes. we do leave them in all winter. They die to the root but came back very strong in the spring. Dave Azalea Jonesboro, GA (Zone 7b) January 13, 2003 9:41 AM Post #448148 Thanks Dave, this is great news - my little GH gets way tooo crowded! All I have read says it is only hardy to zone 8! dave Jacksonville, TX (Zone 8a) January 13, 2003 9:54 AM Post #448157 Yep, I guess you'd say we "push the zone" on this one. Mind you, half our brugs usually also come back from the root, too. It's worth a try. With proper mulching, just about anything is root-hardy. :) dave plantsdirect Old Town (Gainesvill, FL (Zone 8a) January 13, 2003 10:19 AM Post #448170 Dave, What is that right to the right of the jacobina????

Katrina dave Jacksonville, TX (Zone 8a) January 13, 2003 12:47 PM Post #448315 I don't see why not. We have a mix, and none are under 24" tall. Most are 3-4 feet tall. plantsdirect Old Town (Gainesvill, FL (Zone 8a) January 13, 2003 12:49 PM Post #448317 Will have to check suppliers, I think the kind we had was a creeping phlox! Thanks dave :) Wasn't aware of taller varieties! Katrina Azalea Jonesboro, GA (Zone 7b) January 13, 2003 1:48 PM Post #448361 Creeping Phlox is also called Thrift. The tall variety is al together different. The creeping type blooms in early spring, the tall variety blooms later in the summer. plantsdirect Old Town (Gainesvill, FL (Zone 8a) January 13, 2003 1:53 PM Post #448363 Ahhh Thanks for the info :) Katrina gardengirl1960 La Porte, TX (Zone 9a) November 25, 2006 7:34 PM Post #2943810 I bought 3 of these at a local nursery today. I plan to make cuttings from them. I got rose, white, and pink. Can someone tell me what the difference in rose and pink? Is the pink just slightly lighter? Thanks for any info. Tricia
