Subject: Re: sun question for X. violaceum
Dear Les,
The biggest X. violaceum I saw is growing in full sun. In fact, it
is in front of the Institute of Biology here at the Brasilia University.
It is really big and leaves dont seem to be suffering the excess of sun.
This year it flowered vigouroulsy. And remember I am in Brazil and we
have sun all year long! Plants kept in shade tends to be too
"long-legged" and weak. My advice is to give your violaceum as sunlight
as you can.
I hope it helps,
Eduardo.
