There’s so many varieties/hybrids that I don’t really recognize them based off their cultivar name. Just Red, Purple, Green, white, and the variegated Dakota. I know there are different varieties that attain drastically different sizes as well. I have several that I’m trying out.

Yes google shows a lot but only a few for my zone and a site said 7b for one. Not sure if Tony has any in the gardens at PDN think he does.

I have this one in ground. It is one of the most vigorous and trouble free that I have, actually. Excess rain, cold or heat have not bothered this one at all.
