Linda, I grow mine in old wash machine tubs, because of the holes, that
might help with the water problem. I also make sure to plant them in pine
forest mulch. When I planted them in normal soil they did terrible, I lost
all but one to a rust-like disease. I have 3 or 4 species plants. Remind
me and I will send you seeds next year.
