Barbara,

I wish I knew! What I read didn't say anything about the degree of dampness wanted, just that they liked it damp. Now, where I've tried them has been under oak trees and the areas get pretty dry in summer.

For a wild guess, I'd say your damp woods spots rather than the seeps and spring areas. The only reason for this is I've never read that they were bog type plants and I'd think continually wet ground, rather than just damp -- as in doesn't dry out -- might rot them.

Interesting your comment about the white muscari...I've never seen them in the flesh. Is the "grey" caused by underlying blue pigment do you think? Might be interesting as part of a "grey" garden...hmmm...
