Jim, I had an Incarvillea growing for several years, no problem, until the day I decided to transplant it, and realised from later reading that as it was in a place where I may have stood on it when it was dormant, it never came up again. Don't know which particular one that was, it had soft pink flowers. I have one at the moment, which is dormant and have just ordered another one, Incarvillea Mairei, as I do love the flowers. This is in Auckland, New Zealand, which is between zone 9-10. Ina Crossley In Auckland where it isn't raining for a change. > > > Is anyone else out there growing I. delavayi or any other species of this > genus in the garden?
