Becky.. Mine grow in a very marshy, bog type area. They like filtered snand very damp. Those growing here are sometimes under as much as two under water everytiem it rains and stay in very damp ground for several weeks while it drying out.

In some areas it is an endangered plant. I sending some this spring to to our Arboretum. I have been cultivating it around here for years. Have a hard tiem colelctign the seed. Little critters always manage to pop when I am not looking. It doe s not do well with cuttings.

Ours are raised in natural mulch and acidic soil.
