Welcome Darksome
Looking at your diagram I think you need to flip the two bottom rows. The Two black dots in the middle of top and middle rows would be too close together otherwise. Also if making a clump and you point all the leaves to the outside then you will get an empty center.
You might want to read a writeup by one of our members on thinning versus digging a whole clump. I found it very informative. For some areas with no problem weeds, I am just going to thin.

Comparing the pictures in the database I would say Dragon Dance has the darker blaze. It is also the newer variety which would indicate it was an improvement on earlier lookalikes.
Have you looked at what Cayeux has to offer?
