Wondering if anyone has experience with growing this interesting edible perennial. Searching the web I see some statements that definitively say this is a plant for at partial shade, others report that it does just fine in full sun. As I am going to be planting these in a presumably permanent location, I'd like to have a bit more certainty. Maybe the answer is that this plant does fine both in full sun and in partial shade.
I have a half dozen pots of plants I started from seed last year, which I hope have survived the winter, plus another dozen pots of happy seedlings under growlights indoors.
