I live in zone 8b and bought 5 of these plants. I planted them in an area that gets a good bit of sun but also some shade throughout the day. The area also floods for a short time when it rains. The plants never seem bothered, they kept growing and flowering. They were 4 stars the first year but after going through a winter and breaking dormancy in the spring they came back even better ~5 stars! More flowers, more power. They do not seem to be bothered by any pests and handle our heat and humidity like a champ. Yay!!
