Perfect for my soggy side yard

I planted it about six weeks ago and it has been doing so well since then! i think it’s about doubled in size from the quart I received it in. It even has a bloom forming, and I didn’t think I’d see any until next year. Our side yard floods easily and I needed something that would get big enough to hide the water softener from street view and tolerate being constantly wet.

This plant came to me in really poor shape. I’ve planted it but I’m not sure it will survive.

These are amazing! Beautiful tinge of red on the leaves since planting. Can’t wait to see these mature. Pollinators will be happy.
