8 years ago

The first picture shows the entire plant.... sorry its really hard to see, couldn't get any closer to it, (spiders all around it.) but its kinda like a tree trunk .?. and probably about 5ft tall. (I will look at it again, and comment changes or differences I see)
The 2nd pic is the leaf from the plant.
3rd&&4th are the actual flower...
Anyone know what it is??

Thank you!
I'll try and find out how tall it actually is... depending on the height, do you think I could move it to a different, more sunny, spot?
I will do my research. Thank you!

This is really a full sun shrub so moving it in fall to a sunnier position may make sense - denser foliage and more flowers :-) And be aware that it has a tendency to self seed freely in some areas so may produce more offspring than you prefer.

In USDA 5 you might want to move it at the end of winter. Maybe self-seeding is how this example got there.
