Jerry,
Our Lillies of the Valley have grown well for many years on the north side of 
the base of a huge Southern Red Oak (4.5 ft diam).  Never watered or 
fertiized, standard red clay.  In a wet summer they stray around to the east 
and west sides of the tree, but in a typical dry summer they retreat to a 
large triangular patch on the north side.  They bloom well every Spring.
Jim Nottke, west of Winston-Salem
