<<  But I definitely do NOT have the luxuriant plumes one sees in the
 catalogues.  Mine are in high shade, moderate moisture, ordinary garden
 loam with sandy loam about 10" down; pH 6.9-7.2.  The plants are crowded in
 one area and well-spaced in another; the varieties are Fanal, Deutschland,
 the coral-pink one, and A. pumila chinensis.  Anybody have any suggestions?

SHEILA ET AL.....

MINE WERE PLANTED 5 YEARS AGO, AND HAVE BEEN IGNORED SINCE, BUT FOR LOOKING AT
THE PLUMES......

NORTH SIDE OF GARAGE, AGAINST THE FOUNDATION, ZONE 5, SANDY LOAM, NO EXTRA
NOTHING.......EXCEPT.......

THE SUSPENCE IS BUILDING......THE GARAGE ONLY THROW A SHADOW AS WIDE AS THE
BED......SO THEY ARE IN COMPLETE, VERY BRIGHT SHADE........AND......

THE SOIL NEVER DRIES OUT [I DONT KNOW WHY...], AS THERE IS A LOT OF MOSS
GROWING NATURALLY IN THE AREA.....

I DO BELIEVE THAT IS PLANTED THEM WITH A LOT OF PEAT MOSS, BUT THAT WAS 5
YEARS AGO......

PLANTING IS INTERSPERSED WITH A VARIETY OF FERNS, WHICH ARE ALSO GROWING AND
MULTIPLYING LIKE WEEDS......
