They are fine shrubs. I planted one years ago in my previous home and when I moved transplanted it and took it with me. They like some shade especially in the summer. I have had them in fairly deep shade conditions and they flowered. Believe that they prefer acid soil that are moist. I never experience any winter burn on them. If you are in a drought area, make sure they go into the winter well watered and mulched. They are fairly common around here and available and most any garden center. Good luck!

I will look into them next Spring. I think I might have found some at a nursery down the road from me. We were in a drought but we got like 8in. of rain in two days. We were only 4in. below normal here, so we got more then need and our October is now one of the 10th wettest months on record here in Lexington.
