What is the best position to plany a mimosa? Does it need to be sheltered and can it grow in poor soil?

My book says they need a sheltered position in full sun against a warm wall. They are not hardy, so would also grow in a Conservatory. As to soil, they need "moderately fertile neutral-acid soil". Hope this helps.
