Areas that are too dry or too wet will be lethal to this little plant. If your area is dry, consider amending the area with organic components like peat moss or composted leaves. The addition of this material will help to increase the water holding capacity of your soil. If your soil is too wet, consider adding sand or even a raised bed over the area to keep the plant high and out of the sogginess.
