    • So beautiful! Hard to find anything with the same deep colour. Super hardy and bring such a nice contrast to my landscape. Highly recommend.

    • Planted in the Fall as a filler/thriller in 20" pots. While deer love them, they do keep growing back even when eaten to the ground! Also survived this past winter's cold well.

    • Hardy lil guy. I bought him in May, due to overly busy and the weather he wasn’t planted until July! Rolled around the driveway. He never batted an eye. I planted him in a trouble spot and he’s doing well. I’m here looking for more.

    • I’ve had it for 6 years now and it has always survived these cold Chicago winters and bounced back beautifully in the spring.

    • Bought three last year and used in a mixed table centrepiece as well as in the garden. They performed wonderfully! Best part was this spring after the horribly cold winter (-27C freezing and melting and snowing then raining), they are back and growing great!

    • Had three small plants last year. This they reappeared all over my yard. Extremely invasive. Plant only where you can let them spread.

    • I was enamored by this plant. It is absolutely stunning...in the garden center. I bought 8, and 6 died. Proven Winners was very upstanding and replaced them....but all of them continued to go downhill. None made it through the winter despite very purposeful coddling. -Experienced horticulturist
