I love this plant! Humpback Whale is very forgiving! In her first 2 years, I had to move her about 3 times because of different garden design and drainage projects. And she really came back every time. The plant is now thriving under a Shiloh Splash Birch at almost full size 6 ft wide and I promise not to move it again.
