She is right, it does look kinda sick.

Yeah, I know! Makes me a little nervous, but I'll leave it alone and see what happens.

When all is said and done, there’s more said than done.

Do what you want, but if it was me that thing would be out of my garden right now. If you want a definitive answer you can always get a test kit, or flip a picture over Hallson's web site and ask there. Good Luck.

I looked Lakeside Shadows up on the internet and Rose is right. Hers looks the way it's supposed to. However, I think I'd be testing it too. I don't really want any plant in my garden that looks as though it's sick even when it's healthy and there are a couple of others too that are like that but I can't remember the names.

I looked it up in the Hostapedia today and here's what Mark Zilis has to say about it...

"This may be the one "Lakeside" that does not appeal to me. Its splotchy green foliage has a virusy look and does not add ornamental value to the garden. Skip this one."

Well, I wish I'd read this comment before I bought it!

I think I'll keep it right where it is!

Well, maybe they should have called it 'Lakeside Virus'
