Sounds good, Marcella. The clay will help hold the
moisture and they like rich soil. Keep them a bit on
the acid side of pH. I just received a bunch of
'Black Gamecock' a couple of weeks ago and planted
them in tubs like I do all my LAs. They were yellow
but are greening up and I expect I'll see some bloom
next year.
Carol in sunny Texas zone 8a/b? where the sun really
*is* shining the morn!
