I bought 2 little pieces and they are just sitting there not doing anything. stevenova Newcastle United Kingdom (Zone 8a) July 07, 2003 04:42 PM Post #576635 Here in the UK this plant was thought to be a little tender but is now proving to be quite hardy. It is slow to get going though should be a good clump after a season or two. mystic Ewing, KY (Zone 6a) July 07, 2003 04:51 PM Post #576644 Thanks for the information. I know it's hardy here but didn't realize it was such a slow starter. I will just have it to look forward to next year. stevenova Newcastle United Kingdom (Zone 8a) July 07, 2003 05:31 PM Post #576674 mystic, if you live in the USA you might like to look at this site. http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/imcy1.htm
