@tx_flower_child, I tried one of these a couple years back. They don't like "wet feet". Mine was planted in early Spring in a lowish bed that gets a lot of rain water, but luckily drains off real fast, though. But not fast enough, as mine still died by mid summer. It got browner and browner and then no sign of life at all. Not sure if it was rain water or our excessive heat that summer that killed it, to be quite honest.
