Re: Lychnis coronaria

There is a swath of garden at the far end of the field behind my
house,which I started one year when I must have had more energy than I
do lately.  So this patch has fallen into more weeds than anything
else.  Except, and I just saw this, for the new l. coronaria which seems
to like it there more than anywhere else.  It's not particularly dry
there, except it has been dry everywhere this past year.  And it's very
sunny there.  I'm going to take some of the small offshoots and
transplant them into the more accessible garden plots.

As for fertilizing, I hardly do that at all, except once or twice a
year, I put compost on as many beds as there is compost.

Thanks, Claire, for the information.
