Jerry - I don't know where you live in the US but here in SW Georgia I have 6 Slc's and grow them along with my C., Lc., Blc., Slc. etc. I have a small g/h so it's one happy family. I water twice a week during the very hot part of the summer and only once every 5-7 days other times of the year. My Slc Stella Crocker (red) is the only one in bloom right now.
