I just wanted to give an update on the hesperaloe parviflora brakelights. One word - dead. Definately not hardy in my area unprotected. I also protected 2 regular hesperaloe parvifloras and they are also dead. Though I should not that I used a garbage can with a large whole cut out of it to let sun in. I'm assuming they got some moisture during our multiple polar vortex attacks.

My Hesperaloe Parviflora is alive and kicking but is being attacked by rampant Lobelia Laxiflora which has been evergreen this Winter. I've just obtained a new? Hesperaloe here call Mamulique. Has anyone got one over there?
Apparently hardy to -18C or lower even in moist climates, has pink flowers and grows to a metre tall 😀 Seed collected at Mamulique pass, Nuevo Leon,, Mexico.

The only ones I've heard of are the regular red ones, regular yellow ones, and the brakelights. We got to -25 C here twice this winter so it probably wouldn't have survived our winter.

Have you come back to Fairfield, IA, Jim? Any pictures from your beautiful "North Pole" garden?
