Re: drainage & survival

Hi,

I've some rather dramatic differences in survival rates for plants that
are rated as hardy, but normally would die out in a couple of years here,
by growing these under the eaves of the house (southern exposure, no tree
shade, otherwise it would be too shady) where there is little or no
natural moisture. I water in summer and don't in winter.
I have several gladiolus that overwinter and bloom right next to the house - southern exposure. I think they are 8 years old - Kurt saw the packages of corms as we were leaving a store and liked the picture. I can not keep any of the "hardy" glad alive!
