Re: SL trip> Asarum

Gene, do you have any suggestions for me on my previous qatn re A.
shuttleworthii?  It was gorgeous, happy, and spreading for a couple of
years, then suddenly prostrate, sad looking.  I dug and potted it, still
looking bad.  I tried more water, less water.  Are Asarums prone to any
fungal problems?
