[Giorgio Pozzi]

Here in north Italy they simply disappear  :-(

i got many Sikokianum seeds and grew fine seedlings, healthy tuberlets in different years and different
conditions
but
every year I loose many tubers and now very few are blooming

tried different soils in pots and large and deep baskets, full ground in different areas
mixed a lot of sand, peat, perlite, they flower two or three years and then
they soften and disappear

my willing to get them wild in the wood doesn't work


different the behaviour of Candidissimum: they go on flowering and
the new plants from seeds are growing well

the same with Ringens and Thunbergii

> It's always interesting how certain plants like certain gardens for inexplicable reasons; the climate in my eastern Iowa garden is not exactly Japan, but A. sikokianum grows like crazy here; I wouldn't be exaggerating (too) much by saying it has designs on taking over the garden. From the seed from two original tubers, there are now probably fifty adult plants, some quite massive, and I probably have two-three hundred seedlings. On the other hand, I can't grow an ordinary columbine to save my soul.

I'm not sure which source this came from, but it's done very well here and has seeded around the property. This, in a place where sikokianum never has survived! There are less colorful forms in the seedlings, but they all seem to like it here (Zone 7a).
