| We live outside Albany and for a number of years have had our eyes on this reputed marginal zone 5 variegated beauty. A large local nursery brought in a supply from PA so we are going to give it a try. Any advice about selecting a spot for planting - along with soil prep?
Thanks! |

| Try for wind protection. I covered an azalea this past winter that hadn't flowered in years and was rewarded with gorgeous orange blooms. I think the wind dries out the leaves. I have a tiny plant(not covered) of the Carol Mackie and will try to remember to cover it this winter. |

| von1 is right in the far northern reaches on this broadleaf evergreen--winter winds will dessicate the plant and kill it. More useful info through the attached link |
