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.
