We have one growing in full sun and one under birch trees that only receives afternoon sun. Both are doing very well, although the one in full sun is larger and fuller. They both bloom every other year.
People have been trying to get me to move the one under the birches to full sun, but I love the way it brightens up that corner. You can see it all the way from the house. And it keeps flowering, so how miserable can it be? I'm afraid it's stuck there until it complains.

This plant grows well for me in dry shade (recommendations for full sun above notwithstanding). But then, Northern Nevada is dry, dry DRY, and almost everything benefits from a little shade...The gold and green combination really lights up that area of the garden.
