Tell us your secret in growing these. I finally gave up! Was I perhaps giving
them to much light? Water? Soil too "rich?"
These were favorites of Mrs. Jekyll, by the by. I have never seen them grown
well in midwest gardens I have seen. Is it too hot here?
BTW, how is it pronounced? Bur-jen-eee-ah or Bur-gen(hard "g")--ee-- ah or
something else?
TY!
