Just so you know, I've had 'Hello Darkness' in the ground for years. I've divided, moved bits to other areas, and it's still a bit of a bow-wow of a grower here.
This was something I'd been wanting to do... I got most, but not all of last year's that went in the ground. I took some pictures, but this list shows how many fans, and where I got them. The asterisk indicates bloom the first year.
