This plant is growing in my sunny garden (mid-day sun, afternoon sun - HOT sun) in zone 9a and has been thriving for 3 years. I moved it to the sunny garden because it was doing poorly in the shade.
Good varigation on the foliage. The flowers are nice, too.
Only problem is the bugs love it as much as I do. Other than watching for slugs and bugs, no special care is given this plant.
