If you are not sure exactly how much sun this plant will get in your desired location, you might want to get an Android app called "Sun A...Read Morend Shade Analyzer". It will accurately compute the average hours of direct sunlight a plant will receive during any part of the year. The app is predictive: it knows the sun's daily and seasonal movements, and uses your device's camera to "see" all obstructions (trees, buildings, etc.) which would throw shade on your plant. It can even simulate foliage if necessary, to compensate for fallen leaves.

It's fun! Try it out!

What is the native range of this plant?

I found this plant on the sale table at Tower Hill Botanical Garden. Had never heard of it. Planted it in a shady and very wet part of th...Read Moree garden, same environs as Rodgersia, ferns, carex, ligularia, lobelia. It has happily chugged along for several years now. I pinch off the blooms - they are insignificant, no need for the plant to put energy into them. It's not a show stopping plant but it is attractive and neat, and gives me pleasure to see it.
