Two years ago March I successfully dug a good clump of Lysichiton seedlings and planted them in heavy soil in deep 3" pots. They grew well and persitsed right into the autumn. They were then heeled into wood chips in a frame and all 64 died over the winter. This year the same treatment and 18 of 32 survived. I want to plant these in several gardens but fear at such a small size the slugs will walk off with them. Any suggestions on how to treat them in larger pots? I have seen some garden centres setting larger pots of L. in pans of water, guess they either sell them before they die or they lose them as did I once when I tried that. Nobody sells them locally of late and given a plentitude of seedlings in my bog it would be nice to get them around, sizeable ones are viirtually impossible to dig as roots go straight down to Ushuaia.
