Does this mean that it will be available in Ontario this coming growing season? I have only been able to locate it in the States and with a hefty price attached - not that we ardent gardener's wouldn't part with it for a new and exciting rarity in the garden! I have the Hakonechloa macra 'All's Gold' and he is a beautiful sweeping clump of brilliant sunshine in a shaded area of the garden. I wish I could get past that combo of the Dicentra 'Gold heart' but the foliage and the flowers.... there's just something about it... alas, please keep the list coming. I have already jotted down a few key 'need to have in the garden for 2008' plants. PS- where does one find Erythronium 'dens canis' and/or revolutum in the area (Guelph/Fergus) They are atop my wish list for 2008? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Barry Marjorie:
