It will also so well in medium to higher light. The one caution for these is be careful not to overwater them; they have water storage organs of their own in their stems & roots, so in this respect we tend to treat them as succulent plants.

Wildflower.org has recommendations for native plants for all areas of the U.S. I've used natives extensively, and I recommend them very highly. Where I am, local nurseries mostly carry crape myrtle and loropetalum and non-native azaleas. I was fortunate in that I could dig small trees and shrubs out of my woods and transplant them (once I started learning what things were), and wildflowers growing in the ditches. Probably the only person not in snow country who carries a shovel in my car trunk, lol. Get permission to dig on "waste" land, though. Everything is owned by somebody. I figure since the ditches are mowed by the local gov, *I* own those. Here is a link that might be useful: Recommended natives by state/area

Hindu Rope? Here is a link that might be useful: Hoya carnosa

Thank you! I found the purple/pink one available at logees. I might just order this for my parents.
