Mipii, my Snow Fairy is in a fairly open situation but tall trees at the western side shading it from late afternoon direct sun. I haven\'t seen even slight burning of the white foliage. My sense is that it\'s pretty sturdy with regards to sun injury. I also like it\'s late season of bloom, since so few plants are blooming this time of year. Here are blooms from last year (blooms late September here). The 2nd picture is the same plant 3 years ago - just about 18in tall. It\'s now a beast 4ft tall (some flowering spikes are taller) and 4ft wide. I suspect it\'s about full grown, but I don\'t know for sure.
As for the swallowtails, I\'m not really sure - I just happened to notice them the other day.
