        Good evening Lynda where I am going to plant them will be in Light shade according to the conditions printed below ,hope this might be of some help to you:smile:

        Dappled shade is created by a light canopy of tree foliage, a pergola, or a lath roof. A moving pattern of sunlight and shade across the ground provides direct sun for one or two hours a day, and the area receives bright, indirect light during the rest of the day. A wide range of plants, including woodland plants, will thrive in dappled shade. Not all trees produce dappled shade; evergreens and trees with dense foliage create deep shade.

        Light shade is often referred to as open shade, because the area is open to the sky, but walls, hedges, or other structures block direct sunlight. Even though there is no direct sun, the area still receives plenty of reflected bright light. Many plants will thrive in light shade, including vines and climbers that can be used to cover stark, unattractive walls and privacy fences. The soil in these spaces tends to be dry, as much of the rainfall is blocked by the structures.

        Generally, partial shade is defined as an area that receives two to six hours of sun each day. Many plants that prefer full sun will perform well in partial shade.

        Deep shade can be defined as an area that receives no direct sun, and has low light intensity throughout most of the day. These types of conditions can be found under an evergreen or in a recessed entryway. Although the number of plants that will grow in deep shade is small, a few will actually thrive in it.

        Shady areas along streams, ponds, or well-watered flowerbeds are moist shade areas. Shade loving plants that require consistently moist soil, such as maidenhair and cinnamon ferns, trillium, bluebells, and forget-me-nots, will thrive in these areas.

        Dry shade, such as the kind found under oak and eucalyptus trees, presents the biggest challenge for the shade gardener, as few plants tolerate both shade and dry soil. The trees rob most of the nutrients and water from surrounding plants, and their complex root systems make soil amendment difficult.

                    I've just bought some Japanese Anemone seeds, I wish I hadn't when looking at the sowing instructions. Soak them, put them in fridge for a month, do this, do that, do a backflip, plant them here, plant them out. I thought they were supposed to take off pretty easily! Ah well...haha! :snork:

                      Try a few in a propagator nFrost, they may germinate without all that fuss. Sometimes you can get away with ignoring instructions. :)

                          But @"M", the instructions are only there for guidance, there's more than one way to skin a c** you know.
                          Oops I'll be in trouble for saying that now! :doh::heehee:
