I have this plant & grow it as a marginal in my small (6' × 4') pond. I don't think it would be suitable for dry areas. Conifers have fibrous roots that grow near the surface of the soil & therefore use up any moisture.

Lythrum salicaria grows wild in ditches and wetlands, so it tells you that it likes a lot of moisture. Conifers, depending on their size like good drainage, so you might have to make this call depending on your soil and its water retentive powers.
