Hi John,
I have about 35 Siberians which are planted in different areas of my yard.
The only ones that truly bloom well are the ones that receive over 6 hours of
sun a day. I do have some planted close to my foundation and I counter the
lime by watering the Sibs and evergreens with Miracid per package
instructions. They do fine. But the sun thing........I'd look for something
more shade tolerant for along the walkway. Of course you could always tear
down the fence :)
