Hello,

I am considering planting 3 of these in a very dry area of our yard but wanted to get your input first. The area we have is right at the drip line of the south facing side of our house and probably gets only 10" of water a year as most of our rain falls from the north. The area does get full sun. The plants are right at the drip line because they fill a garden area between our sidewalk and the house. Right now we have 3 hollies in the same spot but they are doing very poorly and are constantly stressed due to lack of water. I can supplementally water to establish but would prefer not to have to water much on a regular basis. I actually planted a cactus between two of the hollies in the spring and it has done well so far this season. Anyone have experience using these in Xericscaping?
