George,
All my callas came from a single tuber; as a regular thing, the ones planted
where they receive more than 6 hours of sun/day (full sun) stand up
straight; the ones that receive <1 hour sun/day droop. The ones that get
from 1-6 hours kind of droop. I assumed it was more a function of the
amount of sun received rather than dependent on the species. No, I don't
deliberately place any of mine in full shade; these are mostly volunteers,
or maybe from seed harvested by various insects/rodents and stored that have
later sprouted. I come across them from time to time. They seem to survive
our winter here (zone 6) with only the natural leaf mulch in our woodland.
