DaisyI said:Did you acclimate it before ripping it out of its pot and stuffing it into the ground? (no reflection on your planting techniques, only my own. Smiling )


It sat in its pot in the spot I planned on planting it for three days. That was all the acclimating I could withstand. It was there for about a month, and continued to burn until its day in that spot. It's now in an area with just 3 hours of sun, and has sort of calmed down on the burning. Its leaves are almost paper-thin, which is why I thought it burnt so easily. The autumn frost hosta I planted in its place had zero acclimation time!
Maybe we should get a second opinion...
