Marge, Must say the climate difference occurred to me too after I read your
post. Another idea could be the difference of genetic vigor in plants of
like kind. Perhaps I was lucky and started with a clump that has "vigorous
genes"? Maybe my growing conditions are closer to what occurs naturally in
its native Japanese habitat? This is just one of the variables that makes
gardening so fascinating, never static and never boring :).

Not fair, Marilyn....had some in dry shade and they wizened away and
this lot is holding it's own but not increasing vigorously enough to
divide it at all, let alone every 3 years. I wonder if our climate
differences have anything to do with it? Not fair is what I
say....I'd love to have yards and yards of it.
