I was hoping to see more from members talking about growing Paris, these are very special as far as I'm concerned. I first saw Parisat shows on a visit to the U.K. a few years ago and set out to find if was available here Australia. Eventually I found Paris quadrifolia listed by two mail order sources, one a large concern and the other very small. I lashed out as it was anything but cheap and ordered one plant from each of these. I should say that these were both only allowing one per customer.These arrived bare rooted. After reading all the horror stories about plants not growing the first year after planting and also not growing at all I was very happy to find both grew well and flowered in their first season in shade under Japanese maples, what a delight that was. They continue to grow and flower, they have not increased very much but I am just happy to have them,I seriously doubt they have to contend with conditions like ours in their native habitats,we are in drought still and no sign of relief yet,Water restrictions have been in force here for a long time and only likely to become more restrictive if we don't get good rain soon, Lyn Edwards Canberra approx. zone 8 USDA
