I have posted photos of its flower in the past. The flower is rather large for a small plant. The scapes are very tall. This plant is in direct sun - southern exposure.
Here it is in 2011.
That's Lemon Delight on the top left. I have Kogashiyama Fukurin surrounded by members of the Lime Lime hosta family:

Last season I took a couple of pieces of Kogashiyama Fukurin and moved them into my Mailbox Garden along with some Lemon Frost and a some others.
That's Lady Isobel Barnett on the right - it was added last season also. The First Frost and June at the top have been there for years.
