Grows great here in VA! Just went outside in the rain (haha) to check and the fans look very robust, definitely not small. It's bloomed here at least two years previously (spreadsheet in disarray right now). This year should be spectacular (fingers crossed) as I have quite a clump. No problems whatsoever.
Strangely, I can't find a picture from my garden from last year, but here is one from 2011:
You will enjoy this one very much!
