Does this do better in lots of shade, lots of sun or partial shade? To
fertilize or not-- if so, when?

Thanks


According to Sunset's "Western Garden Book", it can take full sun except
in the hottest climates where it needs part shade. It can also take
full shade in any climate.

The plants need only light feeding. Excessive salts in the soil (often
caused by overfeeding) causes leaf tips to turn brown.

The plants do need soil that drains well.
