S.buchananii took me a while to figure out what it liked. I killed 3, then the 4th plant which was a cutting of of one of the original ones before it died I finally stuck in the ground and said "Do or Die" but I'm done with messing with you. Well, low and behold it came back this spring and is doing wonderfully. It gets dappled sun/shade. actually "looks" like it could use a bit more sun as it's leggy, but I "ain't touching it". It's growing, blooming, and it's staying where it is. Actually uses a fair amount of water here. But in Sharp well draining soil. Which if I lived somewhere else I might amend a bit for it, but we've been having unusually dry weather so I'm thinking when we get to our normal rainfall, the soil should be right for it. We'll see..
