Professional Growing Information I live in NC and my back deck gets full sun all day, every day. It is severely hot and sunny and most plants can't take it. I put this plant in a pot that gets morning shade and afternoon sun (the hottest part of the day). It is doing great! It was blooming when I bought it in the late spring and has never stopped blooming. It has a lovely cascading flow to it and is getting fuller and thicker each day. Mine isn't as tall as this description says it will get to be, but for my container with rosemary and white coneflowers (both taller than this plant), this is the perfect balance.
