As mentioned, Van Borgandien, and also from Forest Farm I think, Heronswood
and Dutch Gardens. Some of mine are really coming into their own. I have
personally not seen such large clumps before, but I'm sure someone else may
have. I have a salmony pink that is backed by a double purple clematis
'Royalty' and the two are lovely together.
Beauty of Livermore is a dark, pure red (no orange), which I got at my local
nursery and it is grouped with lavender bearded iris and valerian
officinalis (white) -- I'm quite happy with that.
The only pure white ones I bought died last year. I hope that's not a
common ailment for white ones; I planted another white variety this year, I
think it was 'Royal Wedding.'

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