Thanks, Gerry....think he's on the mend now.
I hope my poor plant survives, too. Been feeling guilty about moving
it to munchville. Even divided it and gave a bit away, thinking I
had such a big clump...ah well...
Gardeners are people of great faith! Yours sounds like it's doing
just fine. It will die down to the ground over winter and next
spring you'll be wondering where it went...then, the new leaves will
poke up and you'll sigh with relief and forget about it until all of
a sudden it's 6' tall again, with more stems than it has this year.
Great plants!
