A neighbor had this plant in her yard where it was not doing well. She had it located on a downward slope towards the lake where it was probably getting a lot of gusty winds across it. The leaves were always shredded and her husband hated it, so she gave it to me. I planted it on the North facing side of our house where it gets a bit of very early morning, and late afternoon sun, but is mostly sheltered from the winds. This is a picture of it shortly after I planted it, on April 18th.
