Thank you Melissa.  

I had ordered a Carmine Jewel from St Lawrence two years ago and it never
did anything.  I contacted St. L. and they said they would replace it if
they had them in stock the next year (which they didn't) and I had checked
when they posted their preview catalog back in Dec and again it was not
listed.  I emailed them yesterday and I'm hoping I can get that replacement
this spring.  Now I just got to figure out what else I can order for it to
ride along with...lol

I planted Crimson Passion at the same time and it has establised nicely, but
it is still small (maybe 1 1/2 feet tall) (I blame rabbit brousing last
winter).

Carmine Jewel is propagated vegetatively. It's extremely unlikely that it
would breed true from seed. You're free to plant seeds from it, since you
might get something worth growing, but the seedlings won't be Carmine Jewel.

I ordered a real Carmine Jewel from St. Lawrence Nurseries this spring. They
say they have only a few left:
