Holly, I do have clay and rock. My stellata is quite old (was here when I moved in 7 years ago and was 3 feet high then). It is planted smack dab at the base of a fir tree and goes all year with no supplemental water. I figure it has to be "borrowing" water from the fir, else there's no way it could do that. None of the winters we've had here have even phased it. And it's such a treat to see when it's blooming.
