Ellen.

I agree it's the best of the flavums and charming indeed. Unfortunately
mine was short lived and I really miss it. It was growing in shade in a
garden that is moist most of the time.

I tried another one, planting in a dryer location in sun since they grow
this way in Tibet. This one struggled and soon died. North Carolina sun i=s
too much for almost everything except pines and tobacco.

I envy your having found a good location for them. Really a great Arisaem=a
in my opinion.
