                Yes :blue thumb: Kojo No Mai prefers to be in full sunshine so not north facing. Likes moist, well drained soil and doesn't mind either acid or alkali soil. For some reason they tend to mistranslate it as 'dancing in the castle' or 'flight of the butterflies'. Our Japanese sister-in-law says it simply means 'Dancing Lady'. Castle translates closer to cochou and butterfly is closer to Ciochio.
