I have been having trouble growing Madge Cayse. And I have been trying because I love the color and the double flowers. I also like its small size.
I was given a small division of Madge Cayse during late spring of 2013. It almost died the first summer. After its near death experience, I dug it up and put it in a pot with other plants (maybe it is a social creature & needs others of its kind?) on my back stoop where I could keep an eye on it. During the winter months, I knocked it out of its pot & planted it in a finished compost pile.
Ditto summer 2014, 2015,2016.
While it looks quite healthy now, it has proved to be a v-e-r-y slow grower. It has yet to bloom! I personally think it is a very lucky plant that it has stumbled upon a very patient gardener.
