    Mine is in full sun, would it be better in shade / part shade?

    Hi Kristen, well my Solomon's Seal have been in the central border all the time in full sun and appeared to have thrived. Having said that the border is packed full so the soil is shaded and cool. I've got a feeling that it would be happy in light shade.:snork:

            It just came out of the top of my head - so I typed it.
            Others will put our minds at rest Armandii,
            Jenny

              Thank you all for you encouraging words re the hanging baskets - the good thing is you don't need brackets- last winter I had Winter Pansies which were really cheerful all through the cold snowy spell. This one is still going and has been planted up since last winter - it's getting a bit straggly now!
