Sigh... okay I'm going against the grain with the more sun the better. I have several hedys in 8 hrs of full afternoon sun without the pond, without the shade. The more shade for me, the less blooms. I hope I finally coax blooms out of Gahili, Dave Case, and Gold Flame this yr, they have morning sun but too much shade in the afternoon. I water deeply at least once a week, occasionally fertilize, okay sometimes never fertilize.
So Chantell, experiment!
