Garden(s):
It has been our experience that Basella rubra 'Red Stem' performs best in part sun. In full sun it was unattractive, went to flower quickly, and did not produce enough to be harvested. In part sun, we have found it to be attractive, slower to flower, and has produced ample leaves to harvest.
