"Jackie" sounds very similar to 'Helen Johnson.' I sure love them too and
was so happy they made a return appearance in my garden this year (wet, wet
spring).
One thing I did notice, though, I had two planted together in an area, and
the one I let go to seed is struggling to come back compared to the one I
deadheaded, so perhaps a better method would be to deadhead most of each
plant variety and leave a spike or so on each plant to reseed.

For mine is just a little old fashioned garden where the
flowers come together to praise the Lord and teach all
who look upon them to do likewise.
