Hi Tim
Long time no hear. Hope all is well with you as it is with me <G>
I guess we do have quite a reasonable amount of summer wet most years
and I also mulch and water as necessary, so perhaps that is why mine
last well too. I am so glad I can easily grow the foetidus anyway as I
really appreciate the contrast between the dark leaves and the apple
green flowers.
