A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch Plant at one time located in Bed #3, later perhaps moved to Bed #1 to provide more shade. Although I remember having this plant I can find no record of photo of it. A well known perennial that prefers shade. Full sun, harsh winds and frequent fooldings are not the ideals to grow it. Plant can no longer be found at this time. I will recommend this lant for a yard that has part shade.
