This is my first year with the plant, but I already love it. The leaf shape and color adds interest all summer. Even though I generally don't like yellow flowers, this one is pretty. It manages great in the shade under my black walnut tree. I don't fuss with it. It is less than 2 feet high right now, but wide and growing nicely.
