A fantastic bright plant for shady areas.  Willing to send out three lots.  PM me if interested.

Now, I hate doing this, but the plant prefers full sun.

Agreed, but it fairs perfectly well in semi shade too in my experience.

Good, I have always planted mine in the grass garden, which gets loads of sun. I will try a few in the shae next year.

If anybody is interested in this plant get some seed from Georgie and plant them amongst some bronze grasses next year, for a really hot looking spot.

Here's mine in my shady corner.  They are very versatile and go well with a number of plants.  As Ace says, they certainly 'add heat'.   :)  G x
