Anemone caucasica - garden ecology

I've grown this charming little anemone (like a pint-size version of A.
blanda) for quite a long time, starting with bulbs from Czechoslovakia.
Over the years I've put seedlings in various locations and this year I
can see a huge difference in their performance in flower.

The best are in a rich heavy soil under the eaves of a large witch
hazel. Those under a deodar cedar, while they've lasted a long time, do
not flower as well. Nor do those in a spot with brilliant summer sun.

I believe the moral is obvious.
