I just did a quick check of my dailies and I grow all foliage types here. I did not realize how many evergreen & semi-evergreens I have. I have never paid a lot of attention to that factor. I have had a fair share of each type including dormants that have not done well here. It truly is a matter of trial and error.
For some reason plants by Gossard do not like it here. I have only 2 now. They do okay but do not excel & his climate is very similar to mine.
