Sun Needs: Important to think about light exposure: Too much light can damage delicate leaves. Too little light, and some of the more colorful varieties will take on an attractive greenish tone, but not the brilliant fall red/purple colors. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich well-drained soil. This delicate variety will fare better in part shade.
