RE: dictamnus

Susan,
 I have grown Dictamnus for years (they are very long lived) and do nothing
special.  No gravel, no sand, etc.  Just plopped them in years ago.  :)
They are very slow to reappear in the spring, so maybe folks think they are
goners and dig them out?

Gas plant is the common name.  I've always wanted to try it, never been able
to find it locally.  Finally mail ordered it this year.  I hear from a
friend in Oregon that he has lost it many times.  That they require quite
good drainage.

Anyone have any suggestions for soggy Oregon?  Fill the hole with 1/2 gravel
half compost?  What do you think?

Thanks for your help.
