After years of nothing happening with this plant, I have finally moved it two very different locations and it is blooming in both and looks great. One is in shade until mid to late afternoon; the other gets about 3 hrs of late morning, midday sun then shade. Very pretty and welcome blooms at this time of year.

Atlanta - these get big! Nice in leaf and blooms well. Bloom stalks on mine get over 4' high and sometimes need support.
A bit invasive so keep a sharp eye on it and use a weeding fork to get the roots. The leaves will pull right off and the root will continue to wander.
Also, I have a pink one in the middle of my walkway bed and moved some of the 'popups' to another location about 9' away and they bloomed white. Go figure!

A must have for late season color. The form is very nice all summer and it blooms here in Upstate NY in late August through October. Leave a bit of room for it to spread out.
