How about trading for some white Zinnia flower seed?

Will trade large calla lily bulbs for gerbera daisy seeds

Mine are in dappled morning sun and in raised beds. I moved them from full because leaves were getting burned and the plant were showing clear distress y weeping all the time. Also, the crowns do not like to be wet and my experience shows neither do their feet. i fertilize them every two weeks in spring/summer with african violet food and they produce madly. About 15 flowers per bunch. The are about the size of a 5 gallon ice cream container. I live in DFW area and water them about twice a week in mid summer. love mine. They don't die down in winter and they start blooming in january. I also mulch under them with oak leaves decomposed. Maybe mine are just unusual, because some of my neighbors have them in full sun and they do fine.
