What zone are you in? That would help everyone here try to help you.

I am in zone 4, and I lost mine last year because we had a surprise frost and I didn't have it in yet. Gonna be smarter with my new babies. This is the most stunning plant!

In zone 5 it is not hardy. I grew mine in a very large container in full sun. In early June I pinched it back for a fuller plant. It responded beautifully.
