the site we're working on can have surface water, will they still
perform

Very few things like to sit in water long term, but they will stand
surface puddling through wet spells.
The mound planting helps. It rather depends on how long it's puddled
for and what sort of a winter we have.
Your site can't be any worse than mine though - high water table,
heavy clay, prone to flooding.
We've replaced 10% in the second year, but ironically, there were
irrigation issues (dry rootballs in August).

Adam
