Michael,
The dozen plants I managed to buy were tissue cultured. More are
available. I purchased them from someone in Washington State.
My elevation here is 1480'. We had no snow this past Winter and 9 of 12
plants survived. Normally I do get snow so, if no snow is a requirement, I
could always put a 5-gallon bucket over them.
