Default alpine strawbs

I used to have them along the path to my front door, it got morning sun only, they were happy enough to produce all summer and self sow themselves all around the walkway.

I took many of those plants with me, and they live in full sun now. They produce happily, as long as they get water in the summer, otherwise they go dormant for awhile. They don't self sow much there, but it's a kinda wild area that i get lazy about weeding. I have red, yellow and white, don't notice any diff between the varieties.

This year, i plan to move them over with the main garden, I've got musk strawberries also, i'm sure they'll do fine when they get watered regularly.

So in answer to your question, they do fine in full and part sun. I doubt they'd do much in heavy shade.
