Me again, and again with a question :P
I had 3 plants of polemonium viscosum, planted in the garden 2 years ago.
Last year, one plant died without having flowered, but in the same time another one just beneath gave me splendid flowers, before turning obviously completely exhausted, and showing last summer very few will to prepare another flowering season next spring ( new emerging leave buds at the very base of the plant, but they stayed at this bud stage the whole summer, and the plants had almost no leaves more for big part of the summer). Of course, I couldn't take seed, which was not produced :-\
The third one showed only "little life" last summer, with insignifiant growth, I don't know how I will find it when I come back in spring.
Does it have to be considered as not completely perennial, or is its culture rather challenging?
