Re: Asarum shuttleworthii

Thanks Theresa, 
I keep giving it more water and it had very little sun. It did just fine
for 2 years. One problem in that spot though is that I know it is devoid
of humus, so I might just move it for that reason and see if it perks
up.

HI Kitty-

I have an asarum (can't recall which one right now) that earlier in the 
summer looked just awful, also just laid there and looked worse and 
worse.  I finally decided it was too dry and maybe was getting more sun 
than I realized.  I dug it up early last month and moved it to a 
moister/shadier spot and it has come back and then some.  Apparently I 
didn't dig the entire thing out from the initial location, as I notice 
yesterday that there is a small start coming back there.  I plan on 
moving it too... maybe today.
