Re: Geranium renardii was:Hardy geraniums

Hi Victor,

That's interesting!   You can have reams of paragraphs if you want!  I need
all the help I can get to grow these guys!!  

I see you are in z. 7, too, but I wonder if this will work for me, since I
know your weather doesn't get as hot and humid where you are as mine does. 
 The one time I tried them in full sun, where I think I'd read they wanted
to be, they curled up and died pretty quickly.  As I remember, however, I
had them in well-amended garden soil -- a basic clay soil with organic
material added.  Do you think this could be the problem -- not the sun?

What kind of soil would you recommend?  Their leaves seem to indicate that
they would rather be on the dry side -- but I tried that, too and killed
them.  What do you think?
