I bought this plant this spring on a pre-order (garden club) from a reputable grower. The plastic information stick says, "Imposing plant with 8" wide leaves and plume-like cr.
6-8' high. full sun.

This sounds like a completely different plant.

It is very attractive. More comments after the season.

Shall I plant it in sun or shade? I'll take part-shade.
