I'm going to attempt to start some R. nobile/R. alexandrae if I'm able to
pick some up in the NARGS/SRGC/AGS seed exchanges this winter; here's what
I've been able to find about growing them:

R. nobile sounds pretty temperamental, needing cool summers, constant
moisture and sharp drainage. I'll attempt to grow it on steep rocky slopes
above our year-round cold spring, or at the mouth of our cave...or just
stick to R. alexandrae.
