In 2010, I separated it into 3 sections and replanted in the garden. In 2011, I further divided one of the sections. I think this one is a registered mini, but it doesn't seem like one to me.

We just got this one in 2010 so we're not sure yet . . but ours is already bigger than "tiny". Ours would fall more into the "small" category.

Modest growth in 2012.

This is one of a group I had to dig up last season and put in troughs - these came back nicely. The center plant has a scape so hopefully I will get flower pictures.

This one is growing well, but I must admit it's not one of my real favourites. Mid-July 2014.

2016 - is this one still considered a mini? The leaves on mine are as large as many of my "small" plants.
