The CUNT plant needs more sun, they do that when the leaves are stretching for more sun space when bundled in such as a row.
IMHO, I am not a plant doctor, YMMV.
Oh, yes. That's quite likely. Honestly, though, they are in the best spot for sun in my whole yard. I can't do any better unless I want to go outside and move them around the yard every day to get them out of the shade. Too darn many trees in this 'hood.
I am thinking next year I am going to put them in a rectangular box and hang it like a window box over the side of the deck railing. It would un-bunch the plants a bit, at least.
I'm also going to get good, honest plants from my local garden center instead of taking something my Mom ordered off TV and then decided she didn't want. I don't think these plants (from what I read) are particularly well-suited to my space.
