I got Ed Brown about 10 years ago. It grew just OK for a couple of years---just long enough to get some seeds from it. Then it was reduced to a small clump of grass by an exceptionally cold winter. The next year it was gone. The year after that---it came back! It was just a small, single fan---but it did come back. The next year the fan grew large enough to bloom. After the winter it disappeared for good. It was very prone to rust and spring sickness. It's a shame because the seedlings it produced are beautiful, but also are susceptible to rust. That's why I never replaced it.
