Here is a shot of the center of my clump - I had about 4 blooms in there.

They must be in full sun. Mine are lighter now than they were when I bought them, I have lots of shade and put them in the sunniest place I could find a spot to dig a hole. At most, they get 2 hrs sun/day and have lost lots of their color but I still like them.
