I have this too, under my Magnolia Stellata in deep shade but flowering happily. It was love at first sight.

I have a few now Stera, they take some time to get going, then once established that's it.....the only trouble being my older varieties need splitting, but, am loathe to attempt it!!

Before I knew what they like I planted one in a open bed and nearly lost it as the kind person who gave it to me said it would like being on a dry rockery.(I think it was Bulba who put me right on that) It seems much happier in deep shade hiding under the low bottom branches with a second one I bought in flower and couldn't resist - you have to make a special effort to see the flowers though!

Do you think you have to split them? In the wild they'd just make a big clump?

This one is out in the open in our boggy area by the barrel pond, but will be hidden in the summer months...the other three are like yours in deep (moist ) shade, and I have to kneel down to see the flowers!!....perhaps I wont bother splitting them, they do seem happy at the moment.

I don't usually split mine, unless I want to put some elsewhere. They seem quite happy just getting bigger and bigger.

That is good to hear, because I would rather not take the risk, we have removed so many plants this year, a large Physocarpus has just been dispatched to the tip!!and so the it goes on !!

It would break my heart to send plants to the tip.

Not this one, it was on its way out, it needed more moisture, so had died in places, Peter still had to get an axe to the roots though!!
