Madison Jasmine, sun or shade?

14 years ago

Hey Gardenweb, I'm new; I've been reading all the helpful advice on here for a long time. I'm hoping you can help me.

I just bought a Madison Confederate Jasmine for a southwest exposed corner thinking that it would thrive in the hot sun and survive the winter, but when I looked it up online for more info I am noticing that a there's lots of sites that say the Madison does best in full shade. As you can see in the photo, there's nothing like that on the left corner of my house (grey house). If I plant in full sun will I be disappointed?

So, some websites say full/partial shade, some say full/partial sun, does anyone have any actual experience with it in zone 8?

Madison is easy to grow, but best in partial to full shade in moist, well-drained soil. Prune it annually to keep it within bounds and looking its best. Hardy zones 7-10; an excellent greenhouse subject further north.
