    I've planted five of these in shade adjacent to patio stones. They're hanging on, but not lush. The ones established two summers ago didn't set berries this year; the ones planted this year are less prosperous than they looked when I put them in. Perhaps not enough light . . . perhaps not optimal moisture. Hoping they'll catch on. The plants are truly lovely when they arrive.
