I have had this for 15 years in my side yards. One partial shade one more sun, but I have seen it in full Florida sun. It's beautiful and mine is about 4.5' tall. It spreads, but is not invasive. Little ones can be pulled out with no problem. I love is for flower arranging. It transplants like a dream. Nancy Lee
