Paul, that isn't entirely true. That any Eupatorium (chocolate or
otherwise) grows under the cover of trees, I mean. (I agree about
the tags.) Moisture is the key to these guys. I grow them in full
sun but in a very moist spot as well as in part shade with lots of
mulch (as you might find in a woodland). Those in full sun don't
sag unless they are dry. You will encounter the same sagging if
those in part-sun get too dry as well.
