I don't know how you feel about comments on older posts, but here goes anyway! I also have this plant, I bought one last year at Lowes and liked the way it looked in the garden so much that I went right back and bought a second one, locating them with the eryngiums. This year they have been wonderful, like you say, not flopping over and blooming all summer. I am thrilled to hear they can be divided too, for I have been scattering the dried seed heads with no luck of babies. I bought a new one recently called Coppelia, a darker wine color. Thanks for showcasing this great tough plant.<BR/><BR/>Frances at Faire GardenFrances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11489642.post-38406076062870548362008-09-05T14:12:00.000-04:002008-09-05T14:12:00.000-04:00I am glad to hear your praise of this plant, as I ...I am glad to hear your praise of this plant, as I just purchased one this year. I did a post on it a couple of weeks ago. Mine is still pretty short, but I look forward to good things ahead.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539232387597508849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11489642.post-58912886454029280422008-09-02T15:01:00.000-04:002008-09-02T15:01:00.000-04:00Melanie,So you're tempting me with another plant! ...Melanie,<BR/><BR/>So you're tempting me with another plant!

I've had it in my garden for about 3 years - and it really needs to come out to make space for something else. When I see your photos - certainly makes me understand why I originally picked one up - lovely site & really great garden. Callie is just the best!Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.com
