pardalinum said:It seems like they are a bit slower than what we are used to. When I grew some from seed it was the 5th season to bloom. Now I have lost my pards; a couple of years ago there was a total "meltdown" of my pards AND my L. pitkinense. They were no where near each other. I have no idea why this happened as they did well for quite a few years. I hate to say it but now I am pardless. The pards in my avatar are... gone!

This is happening to me too. The ones planted where the drainage was bad simply "died out". I have two other patches in better locations with part shade, well drained soil and natural mulch. I will probably (with luck) get a couple of blooms this year, but not as good as 2013. This was one of our worst winters I can remember, so maybe that has something to do with it. Hoping they recover, but they look bad as of now. They were all planted in fall 2006 and did good until this year.
