Hi all - just returned from a family reunion...always fun and stressful at the same time!
Lynn you are totally correct I noticed Chocolate Ball looking sad in full sun, and moved it into bright shade with morning sun and it bounced right back!! Also I think many of the groundcover sedum can take less sun, they just may not be quite so bright but they will grow with no problems!!
Lynn my chocolate ball arrived last November, and did great through the winter, I had it up against a south facing cement wall and I know that helped! It did not go dormant but I think that was because of the heat off that wall!!
Cheers and I'll get photos soon!
