I found them harder to divide when they weren't mulched - it was like digging through brick with a toothpick. It's so much easier when they're planted in compost and have a thick layer of mulch and plentiful water but I'll enjoy them no matter where they grow.

I totally agree with Polly that they're terrific (the best) in mixed borders but their finest point (aside from their beauty) is that they "play well with others" - other JI's. There's never a mistake in planting a group of them regardless of their colors.

ngam - we'll "root" for you and hope yours return.
