  • Question

    Hi: Ive had this plant for two-three years and not sure what it is or how I acquired. It was probably mixed in with several other plants I bought at year end discounts etc.at my local nursery. It is currently planted in a very shady area and has not bloomed as of yet (early August). Im not sure if it is supposed to bloom or whether it requires more sun. It is about 3 feet high which is about the height it grew to last year. (No bloom).

    Answer

    Dear debjoedrake@comcast.net, I'm sorry that I cannot help you with this one. I, unfortunately, do not know where this plant is growing. Location is a very important part of the identification process. I'm also not sure if this plant is cultivated or not (cultivated species can originate from very distant places, areas outside of my region of expertise). If it flowers, we can try then, as I might be able to narrow it down for you. Best wishes.
