Oakleafs will THRIVE in bright shade sheltered from wind. In fact, I will be moving a beaten-up Alice off of a wind-swept north facing slope to a location that's sheltered from the south, east, and north that gets 2 hours of direct sun per day. Oakleafs of dark foliage color (from not being in the sun all day) look awesome, especially when contrasted with the white blooms.
