Any northerners growing Silene virginica?

Saw some of these at a BBS and they got me curious as to what those folks who have grown them thought about them as well as where they found the plants to grow best...

They are a gorgeous shot of red and easy to grow. I put mine in full sun in a non-irrigated, non-fertilized garden with good drainage. No problem with overwintering or blooming, but the plant is only a year old in the garden, so I'm not sure how long it blooms once mature. They bloom easily in pots and would likely be good container plants.
In the meantime, what is BBS?

BBS = Big Box Store (places like Lowes, Home Depot, etc)
