If the sun is very hot I would put up 50% shade cloth in mid summer.

**** Mmm.. would a corollary be plant in part-shade? I think you'll
say no,no?

No, you need the warmth and the light in spring and autumn so a removable
sun shade for the hottest days is better.




I have no idea why you find contradictory instructions for rooting
it (or

would that be rhizoming it), it looks pretty simple to me, plant it
and if

the conditions suit it will grow. I wouldn't be doing any
transplanting.

****Then would I be better off planting in large pot? Easier to
control?

Quicker to dry out and you don't need the drainage. Just plant in the
ground.
