I can second Jim's comments. I got a plant from Jane about 4 or 5 years ago and grew it in the greenhouse in a 9" pot (eventually). Last summer, when it was dormant, I bare-rooted it and got 5 nice independent crowns, which went into 3 places in the garden, with varying degrees of protection. The most protected was in the less-hardy cactus bed, the least protected was the open garden sand bed. It hasn't been much of a winter, only going below 10F once, but the plants are doing great in all locations, with flowers already in the cactus bed and tiny buds apparent in the other 2 locations. Foliage is completely unmarked. It is beautiful. Best, J.
