It's in mostly shade in the summer...close to no sun in the winter, I do like it a lot. My 6 ft tall Brug is in front of a set of 3 of the 5 shrubs. White wall, variegated shrub, Brug.... nice transition. Of course, I've been threatening to paint the walls adobe or something... that would look much prettier! Anyhoo, I read that the shrub can get to 8-10 ft and can take full sun.... not sure of what region they referred to.
