Hi Don,

   I've been growing Deinanthe bifida for a couple of years now in
   deep shade under some pine trees.  The soil has been amended and
   the area receives regular irrigation by way of sprayers (too much, 
   probably, as many plants can't handle the excessive moisture there).  

   It does seems to handle wet well and has grown nicely over the years,
   although it could probably use a little more light.  Flower production
   has never been phenomenal.

   Now, whether or not that helps with D. caerulea...  :)

Chris

P.S.  Did anyone answer my question about Packera aurea?  We had some mail
      server hiccups, and if so, I missed them...
