I never had any luck with them when I lived in Ft. Worth. The
soil was too alkaline, and even with the addition of acid amendments, they
failed. The heat played a factor too, and I tried to keep them
moist. The same went for Japanese, but I think Marie Caillet has had some
success with JI's in her pond.
