Growth: Moderate
Light: Morning sun with afternoon shade best; full, hot sun causes summer color to shift and can scorch leaves
Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil; amend heavy clay with compost/coarse material for drainage
Central Missouri: Hardy (zones 5-9) but give afternoon shade and good drainage in central MO's hot, humid summers and clay soils to preserve variegation
