Mine is new this year also, but I planted it in the ground, in mostly shade. Here is a pic for comparison.

Telling us where you are has a BIG relevance to the answer. Don't you think?

dandy_line, where I am is right in my handle: z5bsewi

zone 5b southeast Wisconsin

apparently you did not notice.

That is not your handle. Apparently you did not notice

Debra I see your handle perfectly. I did read that they could get Leaf Spot, aphids, and spider mites. It is late in the year and it is a nice looking specimen. It would be good if you could get it planted but I held mine over in a pot for a couple of years waiting for a spot to plant it. You could heel it in or put it in an unheated shed for winter.

"djacobz5bsewi"

Is that supposed to mean something?

Am I expected to know with one short glance what that refers to when it's all garbled up with a name?

Sorry, but it would be WAY easier for someone to help you if you separated name and location like all the rest of us have managed to do. It would take five seconds and LAST FOREVER.

On my screen it says djacobz568sewi

Are some of us seeing different screen names?

I see what you see fraker…z568.

Well that is strange! Earlier today it was z5bsewi. Lol I am Canadian and still had no trouble knowing it was zone 5b southeast Wisconsin.

Well it took this post for me to realize that when I had to recreate my houzz account a couple of months ago, I typed z56 instead of z5b. I will correct this. Nevertheless, let me say this for those of you who were so offended by this MISTAKE, NO ONE in any of the previous posts I made recently has had any problem understanding z5 sewi.

Fraker and cearbhaill I am wondering if you understand tj’s, I lovemycorgi’s, and peren.all’s locations??????

Debra, sure I understand their screen names, but yours was z568! not z56B, not z56. Five-six-eight was rather confusing. To clarify, I was offended by your aggressive reply to Dandy, not to your mistake.

You’ve admitted your error, let’s all move on.

It’s already changed…….no confusion now I hope.
