Donna, the one it the pic above is in full sun in front of my house. It will grow in the cracks of the sidewalk! Smells GOOD when you run over it with the trashcan too. I do it almost weekly. Fiona sits on mine to make her jeans smell good. Crazy kid! It is pretty sturdy. The purple one is a shade lover though.

Made me go out in the rain. Here is my "spot" between sidewalk and gravel/cement on the other side. It is wider than yours though. I turned the fine bark nuggets ( the $3 Home depot stuff) into it so it would retain more moisture. I toss some steer manure on it a couple times a year. It gets watered when I remember. Poor clivia got toasted the last heat wave. These get only about 14"tall at most for some reason.
