Bloomington, MN –
Nutmeg Elf is a “tought cookie” – I ordered a half dozen last year as part of a very large (too large!) order for several new beds. I potted the entire order as usual when it arrived (I thought) It was a BIG order and somehow one of the several boxes got lost in the garage and I didn’t miss it for almost two weeks. When I found it, it was six sad shriveled up babies. I was going to toss them, but instead put them right in the ground and babied all summer. They were a poorly looking bunch (6 Flutterbye – or similar) was in the box too. and I didn’t expect them to survive, and didn’t mulch either. SURPRISE – they are fine this year – still a little small, but the “Elf” is a gorgeous gold – though has no shading like the picture. Maybe in another year – a very dainty flower that moves gracefully in the wind. An “8” for petiteness and valor!
