Hardy lil guy. I bought him in May, due to overly busy and the weather he wasn’t planted until July! Rolled around the driveway. He never batted an eye. I planted him in a trouble spot and he’s doing well. I’m here looking for more.

I’ve had it for 6 years now and it has always survived these cold Chicago winters and bounced back beautifully in the spring.

Great plant. I love the nearly black foliage.

Bought three last year and used in a mixed table centrepiece as well as in the garden. They performed wonderfully! Best part was this spring after the horribly cold winter (-27C freezing and melting and snowing then raining), they are back and growing great!

Had three small plants last year. This they reappeared all over my yard. Extremely invasive. Plant only where you can let them spread.

I was enamored by this plant. It is absolutely stunning...in the garden center. I bought 8, and 6 died. Proven Winners was very upstanding and replaced them....but all of them continued to go downhill. None made it through the winter despite very purposeful coddling. -Experienced horticulturist
