Here is a pic of it this morning.
Notice how the leaves are spent already.
Starting to die off. They haven't been up very long.
I have new growth coming, so its not dieing its just not looking as good as it used to in the past.
I had this plant potted for a few months and it looked great, now that its in the ground it doest look as good to me . I dont know maybe I'm just being fussy. ?
