I bought 2 of these today but dont know where to plant them.
The right hand side of my back garden is shady But i have a small border by my back living room windowwhich will get sun on the morning.but not in the afternoon..There again i could put them out the front , in which they will get the afternoon sun.
So as you can see i am in a bit of a dilemma in where to put them.But there again as it grows up to 3 feet tall could i put it at the end of my rockery?

They prefer dappled shade, Hijuju. Mine are facing east, but under a weeping pear tree, at the edge of the canopy so they peek out. I hope that helps?
You certainly got a bargain there! I hope they thrive - lovely plants. :-) Which colour did you get? I have two pink ones and a white.

Mine is pink and it grows quite well in a shady corner ,I did have two but lost the one that was on the boggy side of the garden.

Can't tell if mine are OK at the moment, of course. I have to be patient! lol.
