Be honest with yourself about siting: although rated to zone 9, it genuinely struggles with Deep South heat, humidity, and heavy clay, and does best here in cool, shaded, sharply drained spots on north-facing slopes or under high pine canopy. Like azaleas, it carries grayanotoxins and is dangerous to pets and livestock.
