Lovely,
I Just purchased some last week in a 1 gallon container. I know that it will get 2-3' tall and wide in time. How old is your plant? How much sun is yours getting? I was told part shade and moist.

It is out if full sun. I live in zone 5 so that makes a difference. But the garden is shaded by 3pm and the morning sun doesn't hit it until about 10:30 am so it doesn't get sun all day. I haven't given it any extra water and it seems to do just fine. It does take a few years to get to a mature size.

Great, I have a spot that will get late morning to early afternoon sun and will not be to far away from a creek. I hope my clump will look as nice as yours someday. For the summer I put it in a pot with a couple of pink impatiens looks nice to have bright yellow in pot.
