I have 3 beautiful Sourwoods out of 5 I planted. I planted them basically like I do other Ericaceous plants. But I think the other two would have done better if I had used more loam in my planting mix. I planted them in roughly I part loam, 1 part peat moss and 1 part pine fines/soil conditioner which I put on top of the ground.
Keep trying! They are so worth it and once they catch hold they grow vigorously. One of mine grows between 1 and 2 feet a year. And they start blooming at a young age.
