Full sun is acceptable but not in a hot, dry, exposed position, and this one also flowers in deep shade. It suits subtropical, warm temperate and cool temperate gardens, and tolerates light frost once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, free draining soil rich in organic matter is ideal.
