A friend gave us one of these some years back and insisted on planting it in what she assured me was just the perfect spot following all the instructions in the little booklet that came with it. It was just before I did a nosedive with my health, and when I was able to track it again, it had disappeared.
I am wondering if they need a lime-rich soil? Ours is extremely acid, which is good for some things, but death for others. That is one detail that seems to be missing in the plant profile listings -- yet one which can be crucial, at least in some cases.
I've thought of replacing this one day, but until I know why the one planted with all the correct light, mulch, etc. etc. didn't make it, I'm not in a hurry to plead for that big a dent in the landscaping budget. Any thoughts on this from anyone?
Thanks.
