I bought three of the most gorgeous plants last year and they wilted immediately. I tried moving them and thought they were gone. This spring, two of them came back. One of them was really nice and big and one of them was a wimp. I moved the wimp and he's still wimping along. The big one was doing really well and then he started wilting again. So I dug him up and he's in my rehab center. He looks terrible. I've done really well with the burgendy varities. My first ones were Chocolate Ruffles and found Crimson Curls, Obsidian, Palace Purple and a few others. I have the Lime Rickey and it needs the perfect spot. I'll send a picture of one of them that has a few brown leaves but otherwise is looking good. I have the yellow one with the red center on the leaves. I do have the spice one and he's doing okay in one spot. I have another one that is doing horrible. I find the newer varieties to be questionable as far as hardiness and I don't want to fight them. OTOH, My brunerras are touch. They can burn or get too hot, but they always recover.

Any luck with the Marmalades? What do they need? They seem pretty schizo to me.
