I bought one last fall.it gets mostly sun,but its in an area I water quiet freguently.I'd place NW.Shame ya didn't get to buy it in bloom.Did you know its fragrant??? .I did notice the winds will make the petals fall sooner.Mulch it well.it will help retain water& after you've been watering it in good for about a month or two then water deeply once a week.they love being top dressed with cow manure spring& fall.mines about 2 1/2 feet right now.was bought in 3 gallon pot.I didn't know was fragrant till bloomed.smells more on warm day.I wanted another(after learned it smelled!)but were sold out(being 1/2 off you bet they gone!)
