A. sikokianum became very popular back in the '90s when it first appeared
in the USA, and quite a few nurseries were selling it (at some pretty hefty
prices). It is quite easy to grow from seed as well.

However, it has proved to be short-lived in most gardens, for reasons that
aren't clear (at least to me)

There are some hybrid forms that are almost as attractive and do quite
well, even seeding around the garden.
