Full sun to part shade and it can deal with dry soil Jayney. I don’t think it’s too fussy as long as it’s not complete shade and too wet! 👍🏼 one for the list tomorrow..? 🤔☺️ @jaynehynesburton

Thank you Jane & Lin I certainly didn't plant it as the flowers are poisonous to animals and humans so it's going to have to come up unfortunately 😟 @jaynehynesburton @linfoster
