I have an area in my yard that I hope to make look "natural." That includes planting many shrubs and other plants, including some cyps. I currently have reginae, makasin, kentuckiense and parviflorum. I have been offerred some others as well. My mentor suggests growing them with pot culture for a few years so they become more established prior to planting in the ground. Even then I will probably use contained areas to plant them in so I can control their growing media.
So to answer your question: yes and yes.
