How best to make this flexbox 100% height without specifying fixed height?

I want to space these 3 divs evenly in a column but their parent (.outer) won't go to 100% height of the other columns contents. I think because its parent doesn't have a fixed height set.

.container{
  margin-top: 60px;
}
 .container{
  border: 1px solid #000;  
}
.outer{
  border: 1px solid #000;
}

.row-center{
  height: 100%;
}

.outer{
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: space-around;
  height: 100%;
}

.one, .two, .three{
  flex: 0 0 40px;
  border: 1px solid #000;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>



<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-6"><img src="http://placehold.it/350x500"></div>
    <div class="col-xs-6 row-center">
      <div class="outer">
        <div class="one">some text</div>
        <div class="two">some text</div>
        <div class="three">some text</div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

What is the best procedure here? I have tried absolute positioning .outer but could not get it to work right.
