Mark (verified owner) –
This looked lovely when it arrived, but for some reason it didn’t appear to like anywhere in my garden. Probably not helped by the fact the second it was planted, every blackbird in the vicinity decided it would make a perfect sun lounger and had a steady stream of feathered sun-worshipers draped over the top of it. Whatever the cause, all that’s left is a couple of dead tufts of stem which was disappointing. The plant arrived in good condition, it appears to just be very particular about its growing conditions.
