I've found that Chasmanthes are the easiest to grow and very welcomed in my garden in winter when not much else is blooming, They multiply enough to divide everyother year, so I can share them with BX. Ann Marie, so calif Jamie <jamievande@freenet.de> wrote:///Dave/, thanks for the hint! And, not to advertise, but mine came from Lauw de Jaeger. They look to increase quite quickly, as well, forming clumps from the underground rhizome. For Summer shade with Winter sun, they seem to be ideal. Don't you just love being successful with something...anything!
