I once saw an imposing clump of this at Longwood in Pennsylvania, so had to try it here. So far, it has been a no-show, flowerwise. Seems even if I water it, it dissipates to ugly straggliness through the summer. Seems that summer humidity does it in. Hosta, Arisaema, Dicentra, Trillium, and other shady genera do fine there. Got any hints?

Two ideas, one, it's a bit too shady and thus too long and leggy; two, try a dose of nitrogen to beef up the foliage and the plant. Mine grow taller and thinner than the catalog pictures, but it's planted a bit further back into the gardens so it's not a border plant.
