Go for it Donna!  They are some of my favorite plants.  I have had sulfureum 
for years in two very different places - on top of the mountain is cool 
summer, acid sandy soil and here in Nashville is hot summer, clay lime soil.  
It makes a big vigorous bush in both places!  It even gets overgrown with 
grass and weeds on the mountain and will hold its own like nothing else I 
know.  Orangekonigen has also done well.  I am also growing:
Lilafee
youngianum niveum
perraldianum "Frohnleiten"
cantabriense
grandiflorum
franchetti
grandiflorum "Mt. Kitadake Purple" and "Spring Wedding"

The last few I ordered from Darrell Probst this year and planted them in 
October.  I am hoping they all do well but don't know yet.  Will keep you all 
posted as it warms up.

There are others I would grow if I could afford them!  Some are so rare or 
newly discovered that the price hasn't come down yet and they are hard to 
find.  (I offered to go with Darrell to China to help look for them but his 
budget is out of my league!)

Good luck - go get as many as you can find.
