The soil drains well. I have a soaker hose running through there but have only had it on once this year; we've had SOOO much rain. I actually just turned it on now; they've been predicting rain for the last 2 days but we haven't had any. I got down on my hands and knees just now and looked at the other plant . . . not what I'd call vigorous. But the leaves do look better, in my uneducated opinion, than the leaves of what we will refer to as the jackmanii. Here is a picture of the leaves of the texensis (sorry, it's cloudy here today so my flash went off, makes it look like the photo was taken at night):

Edited to say that I didn't realize how out of focus this shot was . . . drat my cheap camera! Compared to the jackmanii leaves, the texensis leaves are darker green and healthier looking.
