I purchased two of these two years ago and they come back every spring.. I have been pleased with both of them, however, one is thriving beautifully and the other is not. It is in the same location it’s been in since I brought it home and put it in a good sized planter by itself. Both planters receive sun from the east. The one that’s not thriving may get more rain as it’s not as sheltered as the other. The leaves are lighter green and some are becoming yellow and the plant is not flowering as much. We have had more rain than usual this spring. I don’t know if I should cut it back completely and I have fertilized it. I don’t want to lose it. I hope you can help me save it. I am in zone 7 in western NC.
