Bob,
I think that's a difficult question to answer.
For example Jim and I live within 20 minutes of each other..Elaine and Patty live 70 minutes away..so you might say we have similar growing conditions.
But yet we each have plants that we consider difficult to grow..but the other finds easy... the only way for you to know for certain if a plant is easy or cantankerous..is to buy one and try your hand at growing it.
