Re: I. speculatrix

I've tried growing this species from seed, but have not be able to keep seedlings alive. Do you give it quite a bit of shade? What kind of soil do you grow it in?

I moved this last year as it was being eaten by hellebores. It has survived the 

first winter in it's new home. I'm surprised it is flowering as it was quite weak when 

I moved it. Just barely hardy here, I suspect it is a zone 7 plant.
