Like a lot of the ericaceae, the ideal is dappled shade, but in our
previous garden we had one in full sun, on acid soil. It did very
well, as did the camellias and rhodos.

I do have acid soil, just very heavy. Depending on where there is more
or less top soil, and underneath is very heavy acidic clay. (As in, you
can mold it in your hands...) I've tested this, in some places the pH
is as low as 4.2! Not that great for most plants, actually, since most
acid lovers also seem to like well drained soil.

So I think the heaviness and exposure will be my main problems.
