Very badly, generally speaking. Tests at a plant research institute in Hampshire in the 1960s showed that plants grown out-of-season in greenhouses under sodium light grew barely any faster than similar plants without any sort of artificial light. Plant grown under mercury light, grew very much better. I'm not an expert in the field, but I think it is believed to related to the amount of ultra-violet in mercury lights.
