A nice balance between sun and shade is important—sun to ripen 
the wood and produce flowers and shade to keep the foliage healthy 
and beautiful. However, a savage sun and blistering wind is too much. 
Somewhat diffused light, cool acid soil with an annual mulch of pul- 
verized sphagnum and moisture during the growing season insures 
good health.
