ardesia - I have one Lucifer growing in semi-shade and one in sun. The one planted in sun is definitely growing better. I guess I need to fertilize it with some fish blood and bone to get it to bloom. I have both of them in pots, not in the ground. Maybe I should leave them there since they might become invasive?

I am very interested in Ginger for the bog garden. I am also growing canna and ditchlilies that I received from some nice folks on DG. These plants all have those nice long green leaves. I received all of them as tubers or rhinzones. (These generous folks dug them up out of their own gardens for me, like Karen did when she sent me the Papyrus.) Here's what the ditchlilies looked like on January 13th. They had only been potted for about 2 weeks and had already gotten tons of green leaves. Now they are twice that size. One person sent me the kwanso doubles ditch lilies as well. I will have to put some kind of barrier underground around them when I plant them in the ground because they could become somewhat invasive in my zone. But I love daylilies and wouldn't mind a yard full of them! lol

I like daylilies like Mark likes Crocosmia. Only I don't have 200+ varieties of it planted in my yard. lol I currently only have 4 different varieties and these ditchlilies will make it 5 and 6.

This is a link to what they look like. They are supposed to do well in moist soil. http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/138048/

What do y'all think of these ditch lilies for the bog area?
