Oh gosh Bulba, now I feel really silly....If I use my imagination that is what its trying to say!
So looked it up and see its recommended for shade and I planted it in full sun - do I need to move it?

In northern Scotland we consider any part of the garden to be 'semi-shade' due to our climate (appart from a few days of the year). In Pembrokeshire I think that I might prefer to play safe and move it.

That's frustrating- bought it for that place. Ah well, back to the drawing board.

Stera - full shade in a permanently moist soil. I've learnt from losing a few but now found somewhere where it's happy.

Oh dear I haven't got anywhere like that. My permanent shaded places are dry. I'll try the old trick with gel crystals - it has worked well for me in the past. I do like it - hope I can keep it.

Well folks, if you're still interested, I moved it under the Magnolia stellata some time ago and although this is shallow rooted and dryish the plant is flourishing. Thank you for the advice.
