I think I have ever heard that TC plant is less hardy than sucker pup.
In fact it seems to me that TC D.Orinoco and Brazilian did not show the
cold hardiness as it should have done, and it died and rot to its corm even
under the eaves where no frost fell. Here is said to be zone 9b and this kind
of thing could not happen. But it happened.
Is there any difference between TC and sucker pup?
