some say it need full sun, others say sun part shade. it is getting more shade than sun. should I leave it where its at or move it?
I just planted a balloon flower (platycodon grandiflorus). It only gets morning sun and, will it survive?
I grow mine (Platycodon grandiflorus apoyama 'Fairy Snow') where it gets only oblique light in the evening plus a few dapple patches through the canopy it grows under. I found the greatest problem is getting it past the slug depredation. I suggest slug rings or halos to protect it until established.

Reply:They never did real well for me, I live in the southeast, I think it is because of the high humidity.
Reply:We had one in part shade (zone 5) for several years and it survived but didn't thrive. This year it didn't come up.
