    Is Chinese licorice easier to grow in wet soils than the glabra species? Glabra often dies in the wet winters of POrtland and Seattle.

      yes, chinese licorice is much easier to overwinter. i have glabra in a sandbed and its going on third year so that might be a good choice for you–likes alkaline soils. r
