valleylynn said:Then they would do beautifully in your area Nancy. They just need good drainage, they don't want to be in standing water. They like sun and are alpine plants so don't need a lot of water. A nice top dressing of pea gravel or chicken grit works well. They also love a nice layer of snow cover in winter. I do believe you have that where you are. : )
I don't have the snow, just a lot of rain which can be hard on them. I take care of that problem with adding plenty of gravel and chicken grit. That keeps the root from becoming water logged.
