These are flowering for the first time from seed planted last year. When they die down I'll move them into the garden to clump up I too have tried this in watered soils to no avail. I grow them now in ordinary free draining, fifty-fifty sand-loam mix, which I keep watered twice a day during their growing season. When dormant, they get watered whenever they may. I know this sounds somewhat haphazard, but this is their lot with me .
