Yes the A nem Robinsoniana go dormant by summer, they die back with no real 'litter'. I took some pics yesterday, they are the other side of the path opposite the crocus and N jetfire below the hosta bed. They make a thick mound, I started with 10 rhizomes, which are like a bit of twig. They take about 3 years to get going but then go mad, mine are hitting the path and they have filled the gaps, I put them there I think in 1999 or 2000.

The Lily of the Valley has grown through them but don't seem to bother them. They have only got a few flowers at the moment but get smothered Of course it is one of those blues the camera just can't quite read, a lovely soft blue.
