I have a Brunerra here and I think it is Jack Frost, It struggled for years in the shade of a euonymous shrub. Never got bigger but never died either. Then I cut back the Eonymous shrub 2 years ago and it doubled in size. But it dries back in late Summer here.
If I divide it (and I hesitate to do so because it is old and I only have the one), where would the new division be happiest? I can keep it in a pot for whatever season is best for developing its roots (I do that routinely for cuttings and such.
I ask because I've read conflicting advice and I figure actual growers know. This is a plant I cherish (from years of enjoying) but don't really know much about.
