Not sure about using perlite, I have never tried, also re the alpine that looks dead, I don't think it will refurbish if the main stem rotted off, I do not think alpinas will send more shoots from below ground.
Sorry about not putting the link on correctly.
Most of the seeds in the American Viorna Group are readily available, some like the clematis socialis and baldwinii are extremely rare, the species of most of the group are quite variable, the hybrids are such good fun in the garden.
It would not be unreasonable to imagine the American species from places like Texas, Tennessee, Florida would not need much water, but they do.

any reason why they're not more readily available Richard? Or have I just not come across them?
I can't get the link and can't copy on the iPad, Hosta can you do a link for me please.
