There is no percentage in trying to force plants to grow in places alien to their native preferences. It is much easier to garden hand-in-hand with Mother Nature by matching the landscape plants and the conditions for which they are best suited.
Best never to:
- Plant plants that need full sun in the shade, or vice versa
- Use plants that need deep, rich, organic soils in compacted sub-soils or in heavy clays
- Place plants that like moisture in parched, dry, sunny spots
- Try borderline-hardy plants from more southerly regions on top of cold, windy hills
- Grow alkaline-loving plants in Georgia acidic soils without correction of the pH
