It does best in sheltered nooks.
Last summer I spent in one of the loveliest nooks of one of the most charming villages in New England.
Depressed shady nooks in the rock garden or the hardy fernery suit it admirably.
No plant better repays a thorough preparation, and we rarely see such fine specimens as in quiet nooks where it is sheltered by the surrounding vegetation.
A little tarnish in the nooks and crannies of the piece can give it a pretty, old-fashioned look, so don't worry too much if you can't rid the piece completely of tarnish.
