They are a sun
plant up here..
IN THE
spring and EARLY SUMMER..
When it starts to get toooo hot,
they start to get too tall, lanky and
spindly and I pull them out..
I am not 100% sure about total shade for you..
I have read that sometimes if things that grow up here, and someone wants to grow down south,
they should put in some shade, cause that will keep it cooler...
Sooooooooooooooo, not 100% sure on this..
But you know my ole sayin', try it and experiment..
If you can, put some in different spots..
and see which one does better..
And they do really good, when they don't compete
with any other
weed.. like on bare soil...
