No, they are annuals here in Georgia! But I do have some inside in my sunroom to over-winter. They are easily rooted from stem cuttings anytime before frost. In Spring, plant them in the yard again. Mine did real well last year. They stay small while inside but outside they grow to 14-18" tall by end of summer. I have really enjoyed mine. Take care

Have you ever tried collecting seeds for this plant?
Mine is about 18" tall now and in bloom.
I've tried rooting cuttings but have had no luck.
What's your secret?
I have not collected seeds, but a few have grown in my garage pots from dropped seeds. As for cuttings, my only secret is that I immediately stick the cuttings into the pot where they are going to be for the rest of the winter, instead of rooting them in water. I have also found they do better if you take cuttings early in the Fall instead of right before frost. I also make sure I take alot of cuttings, as some of them do not make it.
