Hello Paul
Glad you found your way here! The semps are going to love your winters for sure!! I'm guessing any new/little semps will need a bit more shade while they acclimate - even for me here in Seattle, I'm having to shade some that seem more susceptible to full sun - actually I grow some in flower boxes, and have now moved them into part sun (it is bright but not direct sun)
They seem to wilt a little in the hot full sun...However Lynn in OR grows all of hers in full sun - so it seems individual.
