I have 2 in separate containers. One in morning sun and the other in full sun. This plant is growing quicker in the full sun container with soil consistently moist.

ADOPT a plant TODAY.Soft, cuddly silver foliage is the main calling card for this lovely plant. It is a wonderful component plant to add a pop of bright color. The large foliage adds great texture to your container planting. It can function as a thriller or a filler in recipes, but either way it will be the focal point of your container. It is happiest with abundant sun and warm to hot temperatures. It prefers moist to dry soil and will not tolerate consistently wet soils.

It is a great component plant in container recipes. It can tolerate drought stress well once established, but does not tolerate wet soils over time.
Maintenance Notes:This is a plant that doesn't like wet soils, although it will thrive with consistently moist soil. It is best suited to be planted in containers where good drainage is ensured. This plant may look rather finicky, but it is tougher than it looks. Once it is established you may be surprised by how vigorous it is. It can be fed the same as your other annuals and while it may seem like a shade plant, it is actually quite sun tolerant.
