Q:Do they need a lot of sun or do they do well in a little more shaded area?
by|Jul 2, 2022
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  They enjoy sun. In Florida, I have seen them close to houses without much direct sunlight and doing well. In Tennessee, they need more sun - maybe a much as possible. The east side if a house isn't enough sun to develop strong bushes like in the picture.

        I was very surprised
        Was pleased with the packaging when I got my plants. They went to great detail to make sure the plants arrived in good condition. The quality of the plant was very good. No broken limbs and the plant looks very hearty.

          It arrived nice and it looks healthy. It’s still in the original pots. I was going to plant it in the yard till I read that deer loves it. So I planted it in the back yard (fenced in) The leaves all dead now. But it looks like it’ll come back. Or I’m hoping it’ll comes back.
