They are very rewarding plants! I have many taller species too, but I especially love the dwarfs...I can pack more of them into my limited space! Glad you are all enjoying the article!

Having a hard time locating commercial seeds for A. flabellata 'Rosea' X2. One of my favorite sources lists A. 'Rosea' but says it is blue!

I had seeds to these one year but they never germinated for me but says it has 'blue-green, fan shaped foliage'.
