The plants seem to tolerate shade well. However both plants do even better in full sun. . Last edited by cincinnana : 12-23-2017 at 07:21 AM. |

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 |
