Planted this in June of 2010 from a nursery. The leaves emerged (as in picture), but then died down and never came back. I have no idea...Read More what happened to it. Hoping it will come back this year? I'm in zone 5.
Makes a nice show of flowers in May/June. My plant is about 4 years old and in not quite full sun. Leaves yellow and die back after flowe...Read Morering leaving a hole in the garden.
I've been told that with proper fertilizing and something else, (sorry can't remember what it is) it will flower again in the fall.
