CB has been in my upstate gardens for 15 years. They grow and flower in
clumps on a berm that is nowhere near water and in clumps in my bog
garden where they are always moist and in clumps on the bank of the pond
where they are drier than in the bog. they are as reliable as the
psueds in the pond and as the I.flavescens I mentioned in a previous
post.
