Brilliant blog, Ryan. I'm still trying to come to terms with the hardiness zones just in my own Welsh (Swansea)garden - cold, gloomy and damp in my North-facing back garden, warm and difficult to work in the steep front, a wind tunnel up my sloping side garden, turbulance round all the walls and the odd frost pocket or two which did for my Phormiums even though I have a patch of annual (!) Cineraria which made it through the winter. That's why I'm such a fan of Heucharas. They flourish in all my zones, look great in pots but are not fussy about my heavy clay soil and the amber ones were excellent (Southern Comfort, Mahogany, Creme Brulee, Marmalade) looking like little fireplaces dotted round my garden. At the moment, my purpley-grey ones (Midnight Rose, Stormy Seas, Silver Scrolls, Gypsy Dancer) are looking wonderful in this gloomy, damp May.
