They will take full afternoon sun, if you're talking around 2-4pm till dark, but they can't take all day sun. You might get wilt when very hot and dry. Your first year, you will have to water them often, especially in very hot weather.. then almost never again.
Once, maybe twice a year they droop in August if we have 10 very hot days without rain, but quick hit with the hose and they bounce back right away. They are just so well behaved.. average 3-4ft sq at maturity they don't spread, they don't die, they don't misbehave They don't need anything. They look fur-fru, but they are hard as nails once established (after the first year). just cut the brown flower heads same time you do leaf clean up, otherwise they are maintenance free.
