RE: Bonanza!

I'll put it around the pond then.  It is at the edge of a clump of trees
where it should get filtered light.  The soil is fairly loose (considering
its clay) and gets a good deal of nutrients.  Thanks for the tip!

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Hi Bonnie,

   I think it's just a tough plant culturally; the hardiness should be
   fine. 

   I've never been able to grow it here in Champaign-Urbana, but I did
   get a nice clump established at my parents' house near Chicago. 
   Theirs is in filtered sun through tree branches near the base of 
   slope of rich, humusy soil (about 6" up) and gets a fair amount of
   water.

Chris
