Do all varieties of motherwort require lots of water and part shade? I have hot sun and little water in Colorado.

Hi Lila,
I think that official motherwort, with its wider and softer leaves, does better with plenty of water and shade. It will go full sun, though. The Siberian Motherwort (Leonurus sibericus) is probably the most drought and elevation-tolerant of them all. That would be my choice for your area. richo
