It never really caught on. Sales were passable, but declined and we finally dropped it after especially lousy sell through in 2012. I planted a few in the landscape several times but they never thrived and never overwintered even though it was a decently protected spot and we're reliably 7A. I was braced for the often mentioned spreading/suckering nature, but didn't experience that either. Maybe we're just too muggy in the summer. Are you aware of good clumps in the Mid Atlantic region (I live and grow in central VA)?

The Facebook commenter is absolutely correct that "the colors do not complement eachother." The colors contrast each other in a manner that makes you look around the landscape. This is something artists attempt to replicate in fine art. If the colors were all the same the garden would not shout at a viewer "look at me." At least the Facebook commenter had the description of "creative" correct. <br /><br />The hallmark of a garden is not where one has located the plants, the plants themselves often decide where they would be happiest. The hallmark of a garden is how superbly the plants have been grown. This garden has plants that are all grown superbly.<br /><br />JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134648325048818615.post-53482131935369015262014-11-16T19:28:01.381-08:002014-11-16T19:28:01.381-08:00Cool garden.

There have been quite a few names added to my list of things to grow. <br />Also thanks for the juniper picture, I was feeling a little common and insecure about loving my own plant so much.
