about 2 years ago now and every year i never get any flowers just the
green leaves?! Can anyone suggest the problem here? Its planted in our
border in semi-shade. Thanks Ali-

Ours bloom profusely every year.

New Jersey USA, semi-shade.

Also new plants spring up around the yard every year or so.

They aren't blooming yet. A week or 2 more.

If you have a full bushy plant 2 feet tall, I'd expect blooms.



hmm its only a foot tall just measured it!


Mine reach about 2 feet, and send up about 10-20 stems.

At a foot, it's still too early. If that's the maximum height
it reaches after a few years, it's not happy.

Our soil is clay and the plants aren't fed.
They still grow like crazy.
