I am constantly amazed at the growing differences of plants in different
areas (or even different yards!).

Now, Marge and I probably have very similar growing conditions (for example,
90-100 degrees and dry right now) and I have had my 3 strikes with these
plants. I've tried several sizes and varieties in the somewhat amended,
mostly clay and rock shady strip between my house and drive, and have never
had any survive! Am finally getting some plants to grow there, hostas and
ferns, with some pennyroyal as a ground cover, but no lamium!
Go figure!
