T. lanatum does not tolerate summer water at all and dislikes 'wet feet' at any time of year.  The soil must be fairly loose and well-drained.  Even a single inadvertent summer watering can cause the plant to die if enough water gets into the root system. Even in its growing season, supplemental watering must be judiciously used if there is not enough rainfall.  Placing the plant on a slightly raised knoll or berm helps prevent premature death from water, certainly this is not a plant to put in a swale or a depression; raising it up may be the only way to get it to survive in a less than ideal soil.
