Neutral yotedog On Oct 18, 2007, yotedog from Raleigh, NC wrote:

Neutral because I just acquired the plant so don't yet have experience growing it. I did want to say that I acquired it at my Arboretum, and they report it will grow fine in bright shade. Noticed it says 'sun' only in the PF description, and that may be true for the far north, but I am in zone 7 (North Carolina) and have seen it growing well in shade. Also, the non-variegated variety is shade tolerant, so I suspect this one, being variegated, will thrive outside of full sun.

I have this plant growing quite nicely in the somewhat scruffy woods behind my house in Honeoye Falls, NY. In the shade, not in full sun. I've seen descriptions in some nurseries' Web pages that indicate the plant is more than useful for shady spots.
