Lime,
I use the pink variety all the time and it's great. I don't have the orange, and for some reason have never been able to get it to start from seed, but should try again. Also for the first time this year I had monarch butterflies which was really nice. I'm thinking of putting in a row of it just for the butterflies.

| Thanks! I was thinking it would be good for a dry bed I have and if I cut it, it can't reseed! Lime |

| Cheryl, out of curiosity, how do you treat it when you cut it? The one time I tried, it wilted FAST and completely and I didn't bother to try again, but maybe if I did something like conditioning??? Kristen |
