Bordelons and Basjoo have done well for me in light shade.
The plants seem to tolerate shade well.

However both plants do even better in full sun.

Hi, I have made good experience with M. yunnanensis, M. sp. yangtse, M. thomsonii and M.itinerans var. formosana and M. itinerans var. kavalanensis for shade areas.

kind regards
