Adam,

I think the location is really important, but temperature doesn=92t see=m =
to be
the factor.  I bought five Dracunculus [bulbs? Tubers?] three years ago =
and
of the five, one didn=92t survive at all (it was planted next to the =
house on
the south side), three are doing okay but are still small and kind of =
weak
(they are in different spots in the garden), and this one that has done =
well
is on the side of a very steep bank on the south side of the gardens =
outside
of our driveway, gets a lot of sun but a lot of wind/weather exposure, =
but
excellent drainage.  It is in heavy red clay soil with geodes.  Maybe =
the
red clay with excellent drainage is the key.

Stacy?  What sort of soil and pre-wintering treatment do you give it?    ==
.
I've tried it here in the Chicago area a few times and it's never =
survived a
mild winter with only 2 days of 0=B0 F .  Sandy or gravelly soil =
perhaps?
