Linda,
Sorry but I've been hanging out over at the perennials forum or busy in the gardens! It took my hida no hana several years to look this good! Actually, this is the first year that I've thought it was a good purchase! Mine gets full morning sun but it has some burnt leaves so I may have to move it to a little more shade.
I haven't been buying too many new ones this year. I've replaced a few that I've lost over the years and purchased a few that caught my eye. Mostly I've been planting ones that have been in pots for a while.
