> I live in suburban Toronto, a fairly similar climate to Massachusetts away
> from the ocean. I have 3 eryginum plants, currently in full bloom approx.
> 3 feet high, 2 are alpinum and 1 is zabelli. I bought them from a garden
> centre 2 years ago and they are thriving (C$2.99 each). They get full
> afternoon sun and the soil is not sandy but loamy, but nevertheless drains
> well.

> They really are interesting to look at and make a wonderful dried
> arrangement but their "scent" is akin to rotting manure!! That's why I
> have zillions of flies attracted to it. It is a real specimen piece with
> their steely blue tinges and is an interesting focal point of my garden. I
> understand they are real finicky to germinate from seeds. good luck..
