I planted mine in NC in the fall and the spring...
Cameron, is there anyway you could rig up a small drip irrigation just to
that one little area? I know water is scarce especially during the summer heat.
Lowes used to sell a small kit made by MisterMister.( I think) set it up with a timer
that they also sell...my shade garden was a dry spot and I ran a short length of the
system just for the bletilla...it made a huge difference for my plants!
