Fouquieria splendens in zone 7b, NC

Hi all,

I have a southwest facing slope at the bottom of which I have several Agave, Dasylirion, Yucca, and Aloe polyphylla growing. I am considering building up the slope with some plants that might like faster drainage. I was considering Fouquieria splendens, but am not sure whether I could get away with this one.

Any thoughts? I'm in Chapel Hill NC, we get rain and low temps in winter (zone 7b). The slope drains fast and I am going to build up a berm.

Just curious if I'm asking for trouble.

I would like responses from people who have tried growing this plant at the margins of it's tolerance.

Best,

Daniel
