When I originally bought B&B I planted it next Salvia hot lips (thinking red, white and blue). Hot lips got so big, it overshadowed B&B. I ended up splitting in half to another area and they are doing very well there. Next to a fence and gets mainly full sun here in Oregon. I don't dig the tubers. I always think it didn't make it thru the winter, but always comes up late. So if you live in my area--give it time. Also when I split it in half, I thought I got it all. I still have one plant that struggles up thru hot lips every year. I've had this plant , now, for 4- 5 years I think. Hummers are always around it. It looks best from mid July thru Oct.
