Re: knautica macedonica

Well, I'm totally jealous of everyone's success with this plant!  I, too,
fell in love with the blooms and got one.  Had it in one of my few full sun
spots, in good soil, good drainage (roses and iris seem happy there as well
as other guys).  It bloomed for a bit and departed this world.  

Now, I'd like to try it again, but would like it to stick around this time.
 So...just what kind of conditions are all you successful Knautica growers
giving your plants?  Soil??  Sun / Shade??  Water??  Drainage??   And,
since I didn't catalog locations of people who responded, where in the
world are you gardening???  Full sun for someone in PNW is a different
kettle of fish than full sun for me, where it is supposed to get to 100F
tomorrow :-(  with about the same humidity - at least it sure feels that
way.
