Certified ExpertA.In your area, partial shade is best. Our articles are geared toward the US, where we are located. In cooler areas, they can tolerate sun where in warmer areas, they need some shade.

Certified ExpertA.Not with these temperatures. I would wait until this breaks down into the lower 80s. Also, I wouldn't water every day. This will cause root rot. Only water when it needs it. This will be as the soil dries, completely, down to about 3 inches.
