Hi Bob--
I have several clumps of Caesar's Brother -- the color is so fantastic
that I've planted it everywhere. It blooms profusely in the bog garden
and hardly at all in the shadey berm. I am digging the shade clumps
(with a pick axe and pitch fork) this summer and moving them all into
the sun. i think it wil make a difference. CB is not shy. it can't
wait to show off.
