Hi Susan,
There was a thread about this last fall in the archives at
http://www.mallorn.com/lists/perennials/
I think the upshot of it all is that E. rugosum 'Chocolate' likes
moisture and some shade from the afternoon sun, or else it'll
start to wilt in warmer climates. I know that this is true here
in East Central Illinois.
