Both of you are in mild climates but that are cooler than mine all year
round.
And you both have them in the ground. Mine have been in pots.
Maybe the combination of my warmer climate and being in pots means the
roots or tubers get too hot. Or maybe they just don't like being in
pots.
I'm going to try some in the ground.
