I bought a new shrub and already lost the tag that had the name of the plant on it  ! oh well....
However I do remember that the sales person at the nursery told me that this shrub needs at least 3 hours of full bright sunshine everyday - like 99% of the shrubs i like do. Yet this is the problematic part here. I have the perfect spot for the plant but I'm not sure if it will get enough direct sunlight there. I Enthusiastically dug the planting hole yesterday and then i stopped. Maybe my wishful thinking will not magically transform this spot from 'shade' to 'half shade'.   - I really like this shrub a lot. Maybe morning sun will be enough. So I've been sitting here since 6.00am watching the sun rise and every ray of sunlight that hits the plant cheers me up. I need at least 2 more hours of direct sunlight, yet the sun is moving so freaking quickly  (I never noticed that before)  that the neighboring large trees might shade the little shrub sooner than later. It looks like the clouds are killing my morning experiment here. they appear out of nowhere and suddenly the sky is filled with grey fluffy stuff, leaving my little shrub in the shade. I guess i have to call my 'sun study' off for today, but I will be back tomorrow.   I guess i could call the shrub  'cloud fighter' or more colloquially 'sun prayer'. TBD.
