Exceedingly happy in a shady, dry area. Neighbors keep asking about it. It comes in very early when nothing much else has bloomed here in 6b. Filling the area quickly. I have both pink and purple. Only down side is they completely die back very early. Worth the bald spot for the glorious early spring display.
