They are both cultivars and both like partial shade. I think these species are very sensitive to sun. The Garnet is probably more sensitive to sun then the Tamukeyama. In my case it means the garnet is more sensitive in that the spring growth is subject to damage by late frosts and too much sun (dry-out of the edges of leafs). Ten hours of sun sound like a real challenge to me. Piet, |
