Any fans of these here? Just how shade-tolerant are they?

Very very! No idea why yours would have pooped -- last year, mine thrived gloriously in deep shade under an evergreen shrub -- they like rich, moist soil afaik --

Every time I've
gotten some from a garden center they've pooped out fast or just never done

Well-grown, they can be really lovely.
