Yes, it is in the sun all day and in the driest border I have. I am afraid that I don't do anything special to it except to try to get rid of all the baby plants that appear around it at this time of year! It is a very architectural plant, and worth persevering. Try feeding yours - might give it a boost.

Members' notes...
Won't flower. I have 2 plants and both have been struggling since I bought them years ago.
from the chelsea physic garden
A vigorous plant that will spread quickly. Useful in that it will grow almost anywhere. Very prickly and can suffer from a grey mould.

This is beautiful Spritzhenry ! I've had 2 of them for 6 years or so and they barely have leaves. They've never bloomed. Is yours in the sun? Do you have any tips on getting them to bloom?
