year and had not heard that they could be trouble. They are both out in
level full sun areas with the rest of last years order. Do you have any
others that do especially badly? If they are here already I might move them
somewhere they may do better. I have difficult places I can not water
readlily that these poor performers seem to hold their own in where
evereything else dies.
