Shade Gardening: Lovely Japanese kerria except for THAT blight!, 1 by DonnaMack

I have a Kerria japonica \'Fubuki Nishiki\' – variegated Japanese kerria - that I got from Raulston Arboretum. I first popped it into a pot to bulk it up, as you can see from the photo, and then put it in the ground in a relatively sunny spot. In the pot it was on the south facing balcony. In August! No burning. Which makes me wonder - perhaps this plant likes more sun than advertised. I would not have expected this of a variegated plant. Do you have it in deep shade?

I now have it in the ground in a southwest location. It seems happy.

The second picture I took at Chicago Botanic Garden. This was simply labeled a Japanese Kerria. This was in August. A part sun part shade location.

I wonder what would happen if you gave it more sun.
