Makes a nice show of flowers in May/June. My plant is about 4 years old and in not quite full sun. Leaves yellow and die back after flowering leaving a hole in the garden.

I've been told that with proper fertilizing and something else, (sorry can't remember what it is) it will flower again in the fall.
I believe it's in 'Lois Holes Perennial Plant Guide' that this information on reblooming can be found.
