A fellow member on another forum (North American Rock Gardein Society) has asked about the culture of Lankon. I can't think of a better place then here to get her answer, since many of you posted such nice pics of your own.

Judging from all your successes, it doesn't seem to picky. What hints do you all have for her? She is lives in Australia.

Thanks,
Rick

I had no problems in my area - (Arcata, CA) Planted in plastic container, foggy morning, afternoon sun.

Andrew, apparently it is available through a catalog she received there. She lives somewhere in Victoria.

Michael, she can interpolate some temperature and sun tolerance from you info, thanks. can you be at all specific about the soil medium? Remember she is in Australia and won't have the same brands of mixes that we do in the US. (It's like when the British say they plant in John Innes #2: what the heck is that?)

If you don't know, than just say so, please.

I had no idea what conditions Lankon required, so I planted it at the sunniest end of my shady martagon bed. It grew to nearly 3' with 2 blooms.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand-basket?

I just use whatever potting soil is on sale (Mostly ACE). It has no fertilizer in the mix, I add some bonemeal at time of potting, and add more pertile for good drainage. Water twice a week, and I will again after it blooms give it more fertilizer 10-10-10 (balance or more bonemeal). I live in the city so the animals normally do not dig up the plants because of the bonemeal.
