Members' notes...
Planted 2005. Looks beautiful when the sun catches it. 2007 was a bad year for it, it did not like heat and did not flower properly.
In 2008 dug it up with a lot of effort. Divided into 4 plants. Took time but byy July 3 of them doing well. One y pond difficuly yo find. Flowers came in August, not so many as original plant but very nice ones, much better than last year. So division was success. Next year should be better weather allowing.
