Q&A: IN SEARCH OF CINNAMON BEAR PLANT


Q: A few weeks ago I read about a plant called Cinnamon Bear Rudbeckia in a newspaper. The story said it's available at most Home Depot stores, but none of the stores I checked had ever heard of it. Can you help me find this plant?


A: You're referring to a wire story that originated in Newport News, Va. It's possible the plant is widely available there, but not here.


Lisa Heredia of Viva!, the company that produces Cinnamon Bear Rudbeckia, said the plant is new this year, and very few growers in the Akron, Ohio, region grew it. She expects wider distribution next year.


Cinnamon Bear Rudbeckia is the brand name Viva! uses for the plant, but it's also available in seed form under the name Rudbeckia 'Becky Cinnamon Bicolor.' I couldn't find either plants or seeds in the Akron area but you could order seeds from any of a number of mail-order sources to start your own plants next spring, if you wish.


In addition, an Ohio nursery expects to sell the plant next year. It suggested you call in early spring to ask whether the plant is available.


WHAT'S NEW: DEVICE CLEANS PAINT ROLLERS MORE EFFECTIVELY


A new device helps you clean paint rollers faster and more effectively.


The Rejuv-a-Roller is a cylindrical container that attaches to a faucet. Your roller slips into the container, where water is directed right to the roller's nap.


In about 30 seconds, it can clean a roller thoroughly enough to be used with a different paint color, the company says.


The device was selected one of the best do-it-yourself painting tools for 2011 by Family Handyman magazine.
