It is often wider than it is tall. It will grow in full sun but probably prefers partial sun to light shade. Mine presently is in full sun. If it doesn't seem happy there, I can always move it next winter. After all, moving plants is what I'm famous for.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275431955885463071.post-69822600599777597792012-04-03T17:01:59.022-05:002012-04-03T17:01:59.022-05:00Birdwoman,
