The message
from "Matt" contains these words:

I have not heard of democracy before, is it an annual or perrenial?

It's becoming so rare, many find it more convenient to buy a fake
replica and replace it with another fake every four years or so.

Does it prefer sun or shade?

An open situation in full daylight produces the best result. Shady
ones often lead to distortion and collapse. Seldom survives near any
bush.

Janet.
