No. A very interesting  suggestion.  May just try it.
I'm not sure how it works between parent and increase. I haven't found anything in literature about this with perennials. Except that with biennials the plant must reach a minimum size before becoming sensitive to low temperatures for vernalization. I've suspected a reset of epigentic state of increases from mother fan when it blooms. But not sure that can explain everything.

Interesting experiment, Chuck.

Have you tried keeping Forever Blue at temps above vernalization over
the winter to see how long it will keep blooming?  Once the individual
mother rhizome has been vernalized, will it keep blooming forever on new 
increases?
