as far as i know easy to grow, but then i think my soil must be a bit on the acidic side, i have never done a test but i have no problem growing other acidic lovers. so maybe that is why you have struggled before.

As you know, I have now got two of these (not the same species, though) - I really hope that they thrive in my neutral soil! You MUST have acid soil, Angie, as you have thriving Pieris and Rhododendrons. A soil tester only costs about a pound from B&Q, why not find out how acid it is?

looks very healthy, heard they were hard to grow, but seem to have it in the right spot..! It's lovely, I'll bet it smells fantastic.
