@Stephie A good point, I fully ignored that the soil humidity in shade and sun is different :-) So I guess the ones in the sun dried out then. It is funny that my professional gardener neighbor confirmed my hypotesis is the sun rather the amount of water.
@Bamboo It is just my experience: I had it in several planning pots and only those in half-shade survived, all others died. I must have been the sunshine duration, since all other factors (soil, spacing, irrigation) have been the same.
