Yes, Purple Snow is a jointed upright rhizome. I was teasing about evil twin - twin because it looks like it and evil because like any rex in winter it bedevils you with dropping leaves, mildew, and semi dormancy.

#5 is definitely not Escargot but might be some form of a _______ Curl (you fill in the blank).

#4 might be a deco series. Have you checked both PHOE's site and the Houston site?

Here is one of my Purple Snows last summer. It doesn't look bad in the basement but it isn't great either.
