Mine are up and blooming in 6b/7a PNW. >>> tmatsu <tmatsu@INCH.COM> 04/09/98 12:24am >>> Hi All; My Epimediums var. youngnaium 'roseum' have still not shown any signs of life - this is zone 6b (or seven in my yard) and they were planted as bareroot last fall in October in a mostly shaded bed that gets 1-2hrs of direct sun a day the just bright light. The soil is a little clay but I did try to amend it before adding them. One note: they seemed to have been shipped dry in peat. Is that normal? Is there still hope? Carmel Matsushita Queens, New York
