In my experience, 'Blackie' got sunburned in full sun making the
leaves rather unsightly. Mine grew best in mixed containers in part shade
on my deck. Any time the runners got too long, I just clipped them off and
started some new plants. They start very easily in water or potting mix. By
the way, did we ever determine whether there are seeds of this available and
how to start them?
