I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one. I was fooled once before by "Limerock Ruby" which was touted to be hardy to zone 6 but was not. This "Limerock Dream" is a beauty and has done so well since I planted it this past spring. This one too is supposed to be hardy, so we'll see. I read that it was originally bred in Rhode Island, so I'm hoping it likes it here in nearby SE Mass.

I had these last year and they were beautiful; sadly, they did not return this year at all. I'm in Zone 8 so I can only think this was due to the drought conditions we had most of 2007? Very dissappointing.

Previously i thought positive about this plant although i wasnt to fond of the flowers and the way the color quickly faded out to a brown. It returned one spring after being planted in late fall, but this year none of the 3 returned!! I have dug them up and checked the roots where there is no sign of life so im calling them dead! These definately are not hardy in zone 5b (the tag i have says hardy to zone 5).
I have read online many other people have not had luck with this supposidly hardy perrenial either. If you want a hardy tickseed try the yellow variety- they return faithfully year after year.
11 members have or want this plant for trade.
