Lol... well I bought mine at Lowes... (maybe I should look my yard over this spring!) I loved it and it is so dainty and pretty in front of my mixed border. I have large rocks and it is a great fill around them. I divided with no problems and now have several starts off one 4 inch pot. Excellent in Indiana, mine is in part shade and doing well (even though it says full sun)
I discovered this wonderful little jewel growing wild in the yard. I carefully collected and replanted en masse. My husband thought I had lost my mind, but now admits it is eye-catching when in bloom. 8-)

Note: A couple of "clumps" are turning black. Has anyone seen this plant do this before? If so, did it die or regenerate. Thanks

I bought some of these and have moved them around in my yard to find a spot where they would do well. They are now shaded by the house until late afternoon and thriving, with very little water needed. I also see some growing wild in some of the more neglected lawns in town here. Very pretty.

These little beauties benefit from occasional mowing, otherwise they would be lost and shaded out. I find them growing in wet areas as far south as zone 10 in Florida.

Plant grows well in shade; just a lessening of flowering. Leaves are evergreen, grass-like glaucous green. Great foliage effect for shade gardens.
