I think once it's established, it does very well. Jamie Gossard's display clump in his garden last year was no slouch! I planted 2 fans last fall and they have increased to 3 fairly large fans. Anxious to see this bloom.
Our bus visited the Gossard garden first and this was one of the first clumps I saw. I'd just ordered it and was so happy because it looked wonderful, and I thought it would likely win an award at the convention. It ended up winning the President's Cup!
