Any one else growing this? I've got one, but it loses it's variegation
quickly when it has any at all.

Should I move it from it's mostly sunny spot to a less sunny spot or even
more sun? Or just enjoy it as it is. Love the leaves and the flowers, just
really loved the big splats of yellow on the leaves when I bought it.

This plant usually reseeds readily and those plants from seed lose the
variegation. To prefent this, immediately deadhead it so no seeds
form.

It has never flowered.

I have a variegated artemesia...to trade for those 'Strawberry Soda'
daylillies?

Down here in Texas, this A.vulgaris 'Oriental Limelight' is a bit of a
runner, but easy to manage by pulling out what you don't want. It's
really pretty when planted next to dark foliage plants, like any dark
phormium. Oh, I happen to have one of those to send with the
artemesia to trade for the 'Strawberry Soda.' Pretty please with
sugar on top!

Oh goodness no! I have plenty thank you! Strawberry Candy is on the dig list
for Monday after the parade. I've been waiting for it to perk up after the
cold spring. Some of my daylilies have been sulking like a moody teen.
