Author Message   Maggiepie  Posted on Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 04:02 pm EST :    Several years ago there was a discussion in this forum regarding G. Yoshinoi. There was a picture of the flowers posted but not the leaves. Can anyone ID the leaf on this seedling as G.Yoshinoi? I am pretty sure the leaf isn't G.Thunbergii as I had that last year and got rid of it, but memory plays tricks when you get older.

They certainly look like thunbergii to me. They self seed everywhere! Psilo - United Kingdom, Zone "8"   Maggiepie  Posted on Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 04:43 pm EST :    OH bummer, thanks Annette. Am glad I posted the pic before planting them all up. btw, do you happen to know where genuine yoshinoi seed can be purchased?

I used to have some but didnt collect it last summer. I have bought yoshinoi seed in the past and it has turned out to be thunbergii. You would be amazed how many so called proffessionals dont know their yoshinoi from their thunbergii ;) !!

I guess there is no way to be sure of what you are buying. Same goes for plants which are wrongly named.

Psilo - United Kingdom, Zone "8"   Maggiepie  Posted on Monday, February 25, 2008 - 06:45 am EST :    Thank you Annette, I would really appreciate that. I love hardy geraniums and the ones I had survived last winter, but I won't know what is going on this year until the snow melts. At present we still have at least 2 feet of snow on the garden. I am zone 4b, but I am hoping I can get away with zone 5 perennials.

I have it returning every year in Zone 5a, central Ontario, Canada. www.gardensnorth.com Samsgarden - ON, Zone "Zone 5a"   Maggiepie  Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 - 03:25 pm EST :    Hi Sharon, nope, she doesn't have them. Do you have a pic of yours? Maggiepie - New Brunswick, Zone "4b"
