I was just reading on the thread about plants for full shade that Bear's Breeches doesn't do well in sun, and I'm hoping that's not the case!

I planted three last year in one of my front beds and it has been a total champ, filled in the whole area nicely, hasn't overtaken the gardenia next to it, didn't get a drop of water or a bit of love all winter and maintained its deep glossy green leaves. Its my new favorite! (Okay, it's my first favorite... haven't been a gardener very long). This bed is reasonably sunny, lots of morning sun and blazing late afternoon sun.

So I bought two yesterday when I found them at Lowe's (HD didn't have any) and I've also ordered three more from Park Landscapes (along with scores of other stuff that's supposed to be sun loving drought tolerant and cold tolerant). These are destined for the other front flower bed, the one that is in full sun all day long. (Actually the two I bought last night are already in the ground!!)

Do I need to worry about my wonderful favorite Bear's Breeches in full sun??

Attached pic is from last year when I planted; tomorrow I will take a picture of their lovely fullness!
