I'm in Bakersfield CA, gets up to 110+ regularly in the summer. I have my stuttgart parked close to the ferns under a semi-shady, huge tree. It gets morning & late afternoon sun in the summer, lightly dappled shade in the winter. Lotsa water & greatly enriched w/peat/humus/organics. I just love this plant, & not just because it looks so much like an Ae'Ae. Well, that's part of the attraction ... an Ae'Ae WOULD be nice - but I'd still love the stuttgart on it's own merits!
