It's in the wrong spot in as much as the foliage has not taken on the deep maroon colour that it should (check the photos out in the link above). I'll move it next spring and more sun should sort that out.

Deffo! Will move it now that I have a better grasp of the way that the light works here when all the trees and shrubs are in growth.

Good idea! Do you have a south-facing exposure?
