Last one today. The double yellow is H. Shaman's Magic that I got from an old 2006 coop from Hansen. Those were the good old coop days.

Jo Ann, don't take me at my word, but for me they have been easy to divide and spread about. I do it in the fall, but for you being colder, you could do it in late summer or even early spring as they come up early. It is like any member of the mint family and will keep spreading if happy, but the initial parent plant will get old and die out eventually. Just cut it back to the ground and dig up a clump and plant little plugs of it in the same area like you would for a doing hair plugs for a thinning head. I got a new one this year called Purple Rooster, that is a yummy royal purple. I love Colrain Red too. Patti
