Hi Mark. They should do well as long as you have good drainage. For the AB's I do this in
2 main ways. Build a raised bed at least 4 inches above the surrounding turf and til in lots of
gravel into the top 3 inches of dirt. The other is to plant on my east side of the yard that
slopes 7 inches in 4 feet down to the curb. The pure Arils and 3/4 breds I build higher beds
and after the gravel mixed with native dirt I add a 2 or 3 inch layer of pure gravel on top.
My native dirt is a rich black loam. I have over 200 different cultivars and several species
doing very well. Over 120 of these will have bloomed this year when all is done.
I grow for the ASI overseas sale exclusively, there will be 72 varieties on the list this year.
If you join soon you will get the list the first week of June.
