All the heathers we had planted in a sunny position shrivelled up and died,
I managed to salvage a few small pieces and planted them in total shade
along with a few ferns and they are thriving, one or two fuschias along the
same border grow OK too (but not fantastic), they do get flowers on them
though and they are all below a North facing fence, meaning they get
sunlight for about 20 minutes per day in high summer when the sun is
setting.
