Re: [Aroid-l] Dracunculus growing on clay Z5

From: bonaventure at optonline.net on 2009.08.12 at 16:13:33 Mine grew well for me here for years in locations of loose soil with little other plant competition. They would bloom in late May here in my zone 7 garden (about -10C) but in milder winter start showing above ground as early as January. Unfortunayely as my soil has become richer, more compacted, and more populated/shaded, individual colonies died out. I had several healthy blooming plants this spring, but after an unusually cool and wet May and June they collapsed and I found the tubers rotting. I've brought them indoors, cleaned them, and am storing them indoors until next year to see if I can save them.   Bonaventure Magrys Cliffwood Beach (Old Bridge Twp.), NJ, USA --Boundary_(ID_KNDqsXR3P0OtILLHXz0Qfw)----===============2682575461470825658==
