I've had I. tectorum alba growing in the same spot for 8 years and it is
quite robust. It is planted in sandy loam that dries out quickly--and it
competes with mature sycamore trees for moisture. It gets irrigated in
the summer. I attribute my success with it to the fact that I routinely
give big clumps of it away--making room for new growth.
