I have a large bed of martagon lilies. They grow in a heavy clay shaded from 
direct sun, where the soil really never completely dries out even though 
Victoria has a profound drought every summer. (There are advantages to living 
in a former swamp.)

Given how well they do where I have them, I'd say dry, sandy conditions will 
not suit them at all.
