I've had Wild Child in my Canadian 6a climate, not sure what that relates to in the US. I'm not a fan (pun not intended).
It is very blotchy in my garden as well and the scapes are so short I don't see the flowers unless I'm standing over it. The plant has been strong here, multiplying well and nice foliage but what's the point when you can't see the flowers and when you do they are not attractive?
