Humidity; neglect; lots of rain. Actually, they did fine the first
year. Ones that I left out over the winter in pots died. Ones I stuck
in the basement wintered over fine, but struggled and died. The one or
two I put in the ground hung on, but died at some point.
I assumed they liked more dry. And maybe more sun and less competition.
