I have some young Mertensia plants grown from seed kindly sent by Tom
Stuart through the ephemeral seed-list. As Mertensia isn't often seen
in UK I'm unsure about conditions. I gather it's a woodlander and
likes shade, but I'd like to know how difficult it is, how fussy as
to type of soil and whether the soil has to be definitely damp.
Thanks for any suggestions.
