Maybe not. That last webpage lists some rainfall tolerances as well the cold tolerance. Very useful info. I have a relative who is a friend of one of his friends. Best I can tell, this is coming from a dedicated, experienced and knowledge manager. His remarks about what he has listed are worth a read. It should help prepare you to get it planted correctly at the beginning. Home gardening is frequently about mitigating some of the drawbacks of types of plants. I can grow tropicals, e.g., successfully because they can often take the warm nights. They'd like more humidity, but they can manage. On the other hand, true alpine plants from dry areas are more difficult. They don't adapt to the lack of cool night temps and that's really hard to mitigate.
