Re: Digest Number 1609- drought rhizomes

This is likely good news for me, since they arrived here and will be in
drought conditions.  Hopefully, this will make the shock of the move from
cool Idaho to hot Texas more bearable for them.  Some of mine handle drought
better than others, but how long the clump has been established is a factor
in that so I don't believe it is all in the genes.  Plus, I suspect there is
a heat factor involved in survival we well as simply drought.  I sincerely
hope you are cooler than we are at present.
