My very first suggestion would be Sum and Substance. It will take a good
amount of sun, but because it's leaves are so large it will require some
really good water. Another suggestion that I could make is Abique Recluse,
again large leave so good water needed. They both have good substance and
structure and a generally both Drop Dead Beautiful wherever they are grown.
They will both grow very large for you, and the fact that they
will be grown with good sun will contribute to them being bushier and much
more dense then grown in shade. I grow them both in the same sortive
conditions that you mentioned.
Have a look at them both at this site:
