Hardiness question.
Hi all, sorry to bother you guys again.
I was wondering if any of you guys could possibly shed light on the hardiness of a couple of plants. I was looking at rudbeckia occidentalis "green wizard" and a Cardoon in various places online and off. Depending on where you seem to be shopping, both of these have been marked as hardy perenniels, tender perenniels, half hardy-perenniels, or even half hardy annuals, I was wondering if anyone here had any first hand knowledge of these plants as it's now getting a tad confusing? -- Rhiannon_s Due to it's large carbon footprint the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off. |

Hi, Cardoons are hardy in Aberdeen - I have had one grow outside for 4 - 5 years now. Chris S |

[cardoon] Thanks, I guess if it can survive in Aberdeen then it's probably pretty hardy:o) -- Rhiannon_s Due to it's large carbon footprint the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off. |

I was looking at it as more of a decorative plant than a veg, I mean if the Shrub does start a nuclear war it may be worth having, but until then just as a decorative plant. I know the Victorians grew it as a veg, but y'know, those vitorians, always smoking something. At least I know that cardoon's are hardy. -- Rhiannon_s Due to it's large carbon footprint the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off. |
