There&#8217;ll be no bare legs hanging out underneath. Thryalis prefers full sun, it will grow in part shade but it&#8217;ll get leggy on you. Blooms prolifically mid spring to early winter.

		<description><![CDATA[It was love at first sight when I first saw this plant at a botanical garden in San Antonio. I was able to acquire one at the Extension Office plant sale this spring.
