| Mine is in the shade of a hemlock tree. It gets afternoon heat from the sun and is dry a lot of the time. Totally opposite of the required conditions. It has spread quite a bit. Maybee just trying for survival. |

| I have mine planted in a northwest location. It doesn't get any sun until late afternoon. This is its second year in the ground. I have about six plants now - started with two - so I'm keeping an eye on it so it doesn't spread all over. I wasn't sure if it would survive the winter here but it seems to be doing just fine. |

| Mine get shade from Pine trees and a Red-Twig dogwood, therefore, it may get some morning sun and shade the rest of the day. They flower beautifully. |

| I have my Turtlehead planted in shade, and they are doing just fine. I started with 2 plants, and now have about 9 plants after a couple of years, so it's spreading, but slowly. Inspite of being in so much shade, it does bloom for me, which doesn't happen with some of my other plants. |

| Had it in dry shade and it bloomed year after year, but did not get bigger. Moved it into moist shade spot and the plant is thriving-multiple stalks this year. |
