Farrer says that C. lutea is "an everblooming, golden flowered, ferny
weed." :-) If I was in the guessing mode, I'd say soils as the main
culprit - normally anything found in alpine meadows or transitional areas
prefers loose open soil with great drainage. Clay will retard the growth
of many perennials.
The heat of a garden (night time heat) is also one of those interesting
things that slow down the growth of plants. I was recently in Virginia
talking to a major nursery about relocating and while I decided not to
pursue the opportunity, it was interesting what they could *not* grow
because of their heat zone.
So - I'd go soils first closely followed by garden heat zone. That is -
*if* I were guessing. :-)
