Did you plant them under a completely closed canopy or did you plant them in an area where they get some sunlight? The plot I have seems to die out when it is under full shade.
I have some under very heavy shade that are doing quite well. I planted then as plants and not from seeds. Each with a rootball about the size of a 1 lb coffee can. This particuiar spot is in a creek bottom and has plenty of moisture.
The other spots I planted get at least 3+ hours of sun a day. I do know that they seem to flourish where it's moist but I havent had any die yet even in the drier spots.
