-May be shipped bare root into March; in pots thereafter- Most selections we offer originate from Claire Cockroft's garden or are seedlings of them, just to clarify things. Of these many selections this one clearly stood out with its large, well-marked pale pink flowers, nicely spotted foliage and vigor. It was clear to us we should name it "Claire". Thanks for sharing Claire! Best in average to moist soils in sun. In warmer climates they'll tolerate half shade as well.
