Default Chinese Banana (Musella lasiocarpa) Yellow Lotus ?

Anyone here growing these? I found some 7-gallon pots on sale at the box stores last fall for only $15.00 each, and now that the cold snaps are gone i was going to plant mine in the ground. However there is no info on the pot that tells me about the recommended growing conditions, like; full sun, part shade, or what kinda soil it likes, watering etc etc.

Does anyone have some tips for growing? I wanted to plant them in full sun. But the soil i have is orange clay, what type of soil should I use? Do they like alot of water like other bananas? etc etc, any advice will help. I figured i would ask the experts on here as you guys are the diehards. These are new for me as im more familiar with Palms, & Alocasias.
