Nan I grow these in Adelaide, South Australia. They're next to an
east-facing wall, and in semi-shade. They're growing amongst hostas
and hellebores and shaded by a white abutilon. They are just magnificent!
I also have some more in another part of the garden which don't do terribly
well but I suspect in their case it's because of root competition from ivy
and the next-door trees. I've never had any luck with H. petiolaris, the
climbing hydrangea though, I think it's too hot here.
