It was really this line that caught my attention. 'My Soul Surrendered' did fade a bit, not badly and stayed attractive. For me it wasn't ever blotchy or brown. It was in full sun most of the day, but in the late afternoon it got shade from the house. It did grow in a container. Also, I only kept it long enough to see it bloom, so it only bloomed summer 2015 and was re-homed this fall. Not long term experience. I did note that it managed my conditions better than many of my darker varieties. Especially no blotching. It also was a nice one for good foliage.
