Professional Growing Information I love this plant for the texture and the colour. I planted it on the east side of the property. It is in the sun from early morning till midday. I am in zone 3, but I have been growing plants for zone 4 successfully. I babied this plant all summer, Unfortunately, half of the plant browned by early fall. There is only one branch that is green today. I have no time to wait to see if it recovers as I need something to fill that space in my garden quickly. I will be replacing it. I would like to get another Celtic Pride, but they are costly and not easy to find in my area.
