RE: [Aroid-l] voodoo lilly

**Sheldon Hatheway s*@yahoo.com**

Is this Dracunculus vulgaris we're talking about? 
Here in Canby, OR zone 7-8 I leave mine planted in the
ground year-round.  It has grown, bloomed
successfully, multiplied, and smelled up the
neighborhood (slightly) for more than 20 years.  I
never dig it up except to divide clumps and sell some
of the tubers.
