From the garden of Erythrone

[Erythrone]

I agree! I wish I could grow them better. They seem to get real leggy after a year or two, climbing out of the soil.

I often read that it is a common problem. But in Quebec it seems like they grow unleggy for many years!

So, what is Quebec's secret???

 

[Erythrone]

The secret? Here it is: Most of us speak French to our plants... I'm just kidding of course!

Maybe climate? Maybe our cooler Summers help ? Rare drought? And many of my friends add compost to our plants, burrying the crown a little every year or so.
