    Hello all,

    I was wondering if anybody had this particular cultivar. I just bought one and I would like to place it in a spot which gets full sun, but I don't want it to burn. I'm in Middleboro, MA, so zone 6b. Any thoughts?

    Best reguards,
    Jalf (Gayle)

    I can only give l little bit of info. Mine is in a pot, Central Illinois. It was one of the few cultivars in containers that went through our horrible heat this summer and still looks great. It seems to be really tollerant and vigorous. Since you are in Maine, I would think your summers won't be quite as bad and that is should work in full sun. If you put it in full sun and it doesn't work, you can always move it the next year to a shaded location and maybe get something like a japonicum for the full sun area.
