Since I am in zone 9, I asked for my order from Rosy Dawn as early as possible. One reason there aren't many to order after june is probably because they dont tolerate temps below 40F. As for the critters, I have not had that problem, knock on wood. The plants I got from RD were very nice healthy plants. I ordered one called Mariposa and that plant grows very much slower than the others but wow!. The leaves measure 5 inches across. Here is what it looks like. It gets morning sun only and very bright shade until about 3 PM then full shade.
