Well, might, but this is not a scree type plant - it likes nice moist
organic soil so I don't know what the effect really sharp drainage
would have in summer when it's very dry - really shines in the PNW
and UK. But, you are right in that it appears from all I have been
hearing lately that many plants can stand cold but not winter
wet..might be worth a try just to see what happens. L. nitida is
very easy from cuttings.
