They grow like weeds here too but is it perhaps an issue with some of the varities used rather than the conditions? I had Lucifer on the bank of a pond where it was south facing and competing with a conifer hedge, heathers and juniper and was spectacular, but I've also had the common orange one in wet clay which spread everywhere.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Anyway-this isn't 'puttin claes on wee Jeannie' as they say up here (I know...us Scots eh?)
