Marge, I tried one, but didn't grow much. It was in full shade. I moved it
to where it will get 2 or 3 hours sun a day, so will see this spring if it is
doing more. (I am in zone 7)
In Redlands & San Bernardino (zone 9) where I see them going wild and really
spreading, it is semi-desert land. I usually see them planted in shade
gardens along with other shade lovers, but where they get filtered sun or 1 or
2 hours sun a day. The air is pretty dry and the summer temperatures
frequently get to 110F.
Hope this helps
Lillian
