I'm only a couple of hundred yards from the sea and frost is quite a
rarity. Here, it grows in a variety of situations - shady and dry,
shady and wet and sunny and dry. However, winters here are cool and
usually very wet for at least one month, if not the rest (on that
basis, winter has remained so far this year!) and seedlings usually
germinate in their thousands - even on bare paving, during the cool,
wet months. Once established, they seem to be able to withstand quite
a lot of heat. That said, your sunshine is probably significantly
more intense with a much higher 'burn factor' than ours.
