I purchased a Jacob's Ladder from a local greenhouse this year & planted it in an area with bright/dappled shade, good soil (well-drained, sandy/loamy), and mulched it. The hostas thrive in this area, if that tells you anything.

So, I noticed a few weeks ago that the old leaves were browning, but it was putting up new leaves, so I figured it was initial shock. Now, I notice that it's doing the same thing, only the remaining leaves are diminishing. Any idea what's going on? Is it just because it's already flowered? I'm not very familiar with JL, so that's why I'm asking.
