Positive buggycrazy On Jan 19, 2007, buggycrazy from Lebanon, OR (Zone 7b) wrote:

Great plant for sunny, well-drained borders, rockgardens and containers, plants are adapted to dry summers and require no summer water, they bloom in spring and go dormant soon after, the crowns can be divided easily, each root piece will grow a new plant.
