Mike,
I think 'Tortifrons' is a beautiful addition to the garden. The "con" is that,
in my opinion, it is difficult to grow. The trick is moisture. I had it
growing beautifully in a container with little soil, lots of pebbles at
bottom, in a saucer that I kept constantly with water. I then transplanted it
to the ground. It was gone the next spring.
I have seen some nice specimens of it in the ground. Particularly in the
Stygall garden in Indy. You might want to ask Patsy how she does
it.<weedrwoman@aol.com>
