I have had LC in a great spot in the full sun and great drainage for over five years. It has more blooms each year but the plant doesn't seem to get bigger and no offshoots. Would love it if it would happen. Harvey Buchite is going to be here speaking at our Alaska Peony Society out in the valley (Matanuska) at Palmer in March. It is a fair haul especially this time of year but worth the hour it takes to get there to hear and meet him.
