I think it can take some sun--and then the leaves would get really dark red...Pretty! So--AM sun for a few hours would be OK. Grayon-- My sister lives in Alaska---and a few years ago, she ordered White Clover to grow over her lawn. I have had white clover "colonizing" over my lawn--there is too much now....Is it a weed??? I am torn--whether I should spray it and kill it--or leave it go. Normally--I have a nice, grassy lawn. This is green and compact--but it is NOT grass..... It is known that White Clover fixates Nitrogen.... Someone please tell me what "fixates" means in this context????? Holly---There is a blue something-or-other that blooms in all kinds of containers. It is not as gentle or draping as Bacopa--but it sure lives through all kinds of weather. The blooms are small, star-shaped--and the stems jut out sideways....Lots of leaves too. I have seen this a lot in the HUGE planters around Shopping Centers....Name???? Grayon--Is this the AW Begonia you are talking about???? Gita |
