It hates my yard too. Three tiny rosettes after that many years and one very measly bloomstalk. It's on borrowed time.....
I have seen it much happier.
I'm working on a line of goldish ones from 'Bronze Pastel' that are much more vigorous. Made a lot of crosses with them this year so I'm hopeful there will be somebody good in these groups. They aren't there yet but the two I used as parents have very low bloomstalks with reddish flowers that contrast with the gold foliage. Nicholas Moore talked about getting yellow flowers against red stems but this combo works well too. Bev will be happy that the rosettes are only ~2-3" in diameter. No footballs here!
