Tom,
Yes, I agree they should do well, but WATER!!!!! is the main thing
with Louisianas, especially the more tender ones. Rusty Ostheimer
told me this, and I believe it completely. Unless you put a pond
liner under the LA's in the CA desert, or have a good water supply,
and I mean watering EVERY DAY, they may be more of a hassle than
they're worth (as western-grown TB's are here). We should garden for
fun, not for frustration.
regards,
