I. too, have seen dramatic large plantings. One is the woodland Asian garden
in Chanticleer of southeastern Pennsylvania. They don't seem to be digging
and dividing these large plantings but like Anner my plants do not increase
w/o dividing.
I have them planted under mountain laurels for the shade. We had a 3 month
drought this summer and tectorum does not seem harmed, I did not water them.
Celia is in a very different climate so this may not be useful for her.
