| I agree - it will probably like that spot! When you water, be sure to water thoroughly, and then let it get a little on the dry side before you water again - thoroughly. Rather than consistently moist, a bit of a cycle does this good. Rather than little sips of water, it likes a big deep drink, and then is fine without for awhile. There are two B. 'Richmondensis' - the "regular" which has pink blooms tinged darker at the edges, and the B. 'Richmondensis alba' which as white blooms. Also, you can cut this way back in the fall, and store in a cool bright spot (one lady I know cuts her huge plant back to half, and puts it next to a sliding glass door in the split level basement for the winter) and then put it (or them) back out in the spring! Alternately, you can make cuttings and keep it as an indoor plant over the winter, then start making more to put back out in the sping. This is a wonderful, tough plant!
