Good idea, Kay! I moved mine last spring away from house foundation/ under deck to try and eliminate or decrease the amount of spring desiccation. It is doing super this spring and as of a day or so ago, it shows very minor blemishes in one or two leaves. It seems not to have minded the move - the clump and leaves are as large as last year and may even be larger. I will measure the largest leaf just out of curiosity and compare to the Library stats.

Whenever we get temps early (before onset of summer) in the 30's, it's a given my oldest FW will blemish somewhat. Being more in the shade now, and getting plenty of cooling breezes in the more open but shaded space has helped a fair bit. It seems taller this year. The old girl remains a treasured beauty in my garden.

Funny, they brought along an alternative, Olive Bailey Langdon but it is not foolproof here. A couple of spots on it but doesn't really detract from its looks. I will scissor/trim where I can a bit later. :-)

Maybe later you might post an updated pic and so shall I? I have been experimenting with FW for a few years now and my premise is that age and location, specific location, have an impact on how much/if any desiccation this plant suffers. This, the subsequent year after a move, will tell me more.

Here's a peek at the oldest FW of mine from the weekend...too bad the honeysuckle confetti detracts (but smelled heavenly).
