A few that have survived are seedlings of: Blue Eclipse Propertius Columella Purple Spider Constance Siberica Ochotensis v. rubricunda Chiisanensis Jan Lindmark Fusca Pitcheri G76D viorna Lake Baikal species Inspiration pink Red Ballon Occidentalis v. grosseserrata Columbiana v. tenuiloba Fremontii My heracleifolia group seedling experiment also looks successful with the following surviving in both sheltered locations and out in the open: Speciosa Speciosa pink Stans Cote d'azur Tubulosa (a big surprise considering the squirrels repeatedly dug the soil away from the roots) Not sure yet whether Rehderiana is alive but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Nice to see some favorites in there like 'Blue Eclipse' and 'Constance'. I'm looking forward to seeing the flowers.

Mike_in_chicago - Chicago, IL, Zone "5b"   Bluethumb  Posted on Sunday, May 11, 2008 - 02:59 pm EST :    Yes Mike, I just buried the pots up to their rims in the garden, did not add any mulch. Pot sizes were from 2 1/2" up to gallon pots and all seem to have worked. Bluethumb - Alberta, Zone "3b"   Bells  My Weather Posted on Sunday, May 11, 2008 - 03:22 pm EST :    Good news Alison. Bells - Sussex, Zone "6"   Bluethumb  Posted on Monday, May 12, 2008 - 09:07 am EST :    Even better news is that I discovered a flower bud on Propertius #1 and one of the Blue Eclipse so maybe we'll get to see your 'grandflowers' this year! Bluethumb - Alberta, Zone "3b"   Bluethumb  Posted on Saturday, May 17, 2008 - 12:17 am EST :    Good news, I've discovered at least 2 of the Rehderiana from Roelie have survived. Also a viorna. And flower buds on at least 4 Blue Eclipse seedlings. Bluethumb - Alberta, Zone "3b"
