we have three of these in various places in our yard. the one in question, on the east side of our deck gets full sun first thing in the morning until about 10 am, then dappled sun all day. literally, all day, until about 6 pm. I would think the lighting aspect is pretty well covered. however, im thinking theres a problem with the soil its planted in. the plant is a vigorous grower and its LOADED with flower buds. but patches of leaves are very pale green and some of the innermost leaves are nearly white and dropping off at a fairly quick rate. we fertilized it at the beginning of the growing season with organic "acid loving" fertilizer and its thick and full. its just looks a little ill. I also don't think its a "too much water" issue. we pay really close attention to our watering regimen, especially since the pale leave appeared a few weeks ago. thoughts?
