I have two of these. One is in partial sun is about three years old; the other is about 6 months old and is in mostly shade. The one in the partial sun has lighter green leaves. The one in the mostly shade has very pretty dark green leaves and gets sun for about 1 1/2 hours right after mid-day. It gets pretty wilted, but comes back each afternnoon. They get about 90 minutes of water twice a week. The flowers are beautiful little purple five pointed, inverted stars. Butterflies seem to like them. They survive quite well in the ground here in Titusville, FL. The soil is sandy based. We have a lot of big trees, so the leaves drop and provide a natural mulch.
