  Bobbi,


  So, I planted more and they've continued to return every year with more and more bloom stalks and foliage! They are planted about 10" deep.  I try to get a layer of mulch on the top (don't always get it done) and have them in a place that does not hold water all winter.  I know that they are bog plants but I've been told by another gardener that leaving them soggy during the winter is the "kiss of death".

  If you decide to try this be warned that they are VERY late to show in the spring.  I put in three "Flame" and nine "Cameo" this spring and intend to leave them and see what happens.
