I have GF and BJ (Ice Cream) about 15 feet from each other, and they are on the east facing side of the house. They both get absolutely blasted with full sun all day from about 11 am - 6pm. I don't have any problem with either. However, I have a young Darjeeling and a Praying Hands in pots in morning sun until 1pm, then shade the rest of them day. They both got seriously leaf burned when we had a few days of 100 degrees. I think it's more about the establishing and the ability to have built up the cuticle on the upper leaf surface. That's what really helps them become nice strong plants that can resist the worst of times. Even cold.
