Most of these plants do not tolerate scorching aft- 
ernoon sun. Early morning sun is desirable, though 
not essential. Group beneath shade trees and flow- 
ering trees, deciduous or evergreen. Most shade 
lovers prefer soil that is on the acid side. To pro- 
mote growth and flower buds use peat or leaf-mold 
mulch and twice yearly applications of acid fer- 
tilizer in small amounts.
