I've been growing this for a number of years after admiring it in the
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens which made me think I could grow
it. But they do water in summer and so I assumed I'd have no chance
growing it in the ground like they do. Every year it goes dormant
sometime in winter and then reappears sometime in summer, but I've
never seen a suggestion of a bloom. I started seed in spring 2005 and
when they dwindled another lot in spring 2009. The seeds germinated
well, but I obviously am not giving them whatever they need. So you
don't have to be too jealous Dennis. I don't think it is a plant most
people would grow just for the leaves.
