Hello all- I also have a Cimicifuga HBB, that never grows past a certain
height. I was just pondering this today, and here it is on the list. Has
never flowered, just seems to stop growing. It's about 3 years old also.
Maybe I will try moving it to morning sun and afternoon shade as Patsy
mentioned, or give it the tough love. Maybe it just isn't in the right spot?
Thanks for all the info- Robin- Zone 5- NW corner of Ct
