I planted a start of Black and Blue this year. It's a nice clump about two feet tall and wide that I wish I'd given more space. I gets full sun and then dappled shade in the afternoon. I love the color, but it doesn't actually pop the way I'd hope--the blue is so velvety, and the calyxes so dark. I'll be moving things around, and I think I'll mulch it well this fall, because last year's start didn't survive our winter (no mulch).
