Pat I have the same problem. I purchased 2 from Kmart last year. One of them 
did not survive the winter and the other is in a pretty sunny location. The 
foilage had looked okay but had never gotten really huge as others I had 
seen. Now the plant looks yellow and scraggly with something chewing on its 
leaves. Which I will blame on rabbits.LOL
So I'm wondering if I should go ahead and move it a little later in the 
season or see what will happen next spring.
