I planted this along our garage on a south facing site. We live in northern Minnesota, Zone 3. It does have pretty foliage and it gets sun probably 8-10 hours a day! It has grown very well, actually too well! It has spread to about 3 feet wide 2-3 feet high, and seems to be sending out runners! I expected it to be smaller and more contained! It is creeping into my other plants! I am going to have to move it to a different location!
