Would they possibly survive on one side of the house with only morning sun or would this be too much sun for them? They live in Zone 7 and she would like some winter blossoms.

But as long as they do not get the hot sun, they are fine. I originally had mine on the east side. Then summer came and the leaves were starting to droop and burn by late morning. So I moved them to the north side and they did splendid.
