Depending on where you are located and the heat of your summer, they will wilt daily. Repeated wilting places unncessary stress on the plant, leading to poor growth, lack of flowering, susceptibility to insect and disease problems and in extreme cases, even death. These are NOT plants for a full sun location. Sorry.
