You are welcome. Looks like an interesting plant. I tried the seeds once, but had no luck either. I might even give this one a try myself. Good luck.
I checked out that link, those have to be them! i planted them last year, Right now everthing thing is snow covered, so i cant tell if is gonna make it this year, I found a couple in a nice size pot at a local nursie, they were 1/2 price end of the season sale.
Keep in touch with me, I can check the nursery in the late spring when they open again. I was doing a little research on them cause i am in zone 5-6. They are hardy to zone 5, and are fairly deer resistant, and drought resistant.
LMK if they are one in the same.

That's the problem with common names...
