      Q:Will these stay alive during winter dry season in Florida without irrigation?

      Answer This Question

      A:  I know they don't like to stand is wet soil. They do not like to be over watered: moist not wet is best. And I know they do well in full sun and summer like -80 degrees- but will scorch, when young in hot sun especially refected sun from windows mirrors or asphalt. So if you're asking is your new shrub can be left alone to fend for itself in hot weather, my guess is you have a 50/50 chance of survival. Mature shurb will age to meet the climate, and needs little care once established.
