My cheap little two year-olds have little groups of three or four shoots. I threw them on the wrong side of the house – full morning sun and partial shade in the afternoon. A winter storm took out most of the shade evergreen, so they should do better this year. I told myself I would never ask for blooms since I love the leaves. I lied.

The four I spent ridiculous money on last September have come up huge in comparison (yes, I found the source on this site). I’m expecting great leaves this Summer.

Susan, when it comes to plant names, I always pretend it’s an Agatha Christie novel; give me enough context and I usually figure out what is going on, but I’m not going to lose the story trying to sort all of it out.
