Tim,
I don't know about them being FULL sun lovers, in practice. I had four or five
pots of all three varieties this past summer. The ones that received only
PARTIAL sun, say about 3-4 hours, did the best. They had the best color, the
most foliage. Keep in mind that I had them planted with mixed company, as
well.
It's also important to note that my definition of full sun is ALL DAYLIGHT
HOURS--as I am shade challenged.
