I had some for a bit, but it never thrived and died when we had a serious of very dry (for the UK) summers. I'd believe it would struggle a bit on sandy soils and how summers but once properly established the root/rhizome seems to become very bulky and extensive almost in the same vein as caudiciform succulents. It thrives on my heavy clay soil whatever the weather. I started again about 5 years back because we seemed to be having a spell of wet summers, and it's growing like b*gg*ry. It stays put but gets bigger at a fair old rate. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
