Fw: [SG] Microbiota decusata

 Kay,

 Any particular preferences as to soil?   Is it a fast or slow spreader?

 Ran,

 When you say "allowed to dry" do you mean it needs consistently moist soil
 or just not to let it get *really* dry?

 Where I'd like to put this tends to be on the dry side - basic amended
clay
 - but is irrigated in summer since it is also home to Hemlock, Azaleas and
 one lone Hydrangea who don't like to get really dry.  Does this sound OK?
