When you seek advice about plants, please let us know where you are and
what your climate is. Advice for the Cheviot Hills of England will be
quite different from advice for the Cheviot Hills of Los Angeles,
California. Portland, Oregon, has quite a different climate than
Portland, Maine. Rome, New York, is different from Rome, Italy.

No, you don't have to be as detailed as my Climate Web page (see my
signature below). But you should let us know, for example if your
winters are severe or mild and if your summers are torrid or merely warm.
