Beautiful! I have been looking for this on line and been unable to find it. Did you buy a plant or grow it from seed? I was particular interested in your posting because I live outside St. Louis and was glad to see someone fairly nearby was growing this. It gives me hope that I can grow it, too. At least in my zone. I think you may be a little warmer, though. Could you tell me where you got it? Thank you! Pam
Thanks for kind comments, folks.
Pam, I am growing this in my greenhouse during the winter. I got some cuttings from a member of Dave's garden last spring. If we both get to the Missouri Roundup this next summer (June 4 in Columbia) maybe I can swap you some for something else. You can overwinter it in a sunny window inside, but it gets a bit leggy by the end of winter and will need cutting back, I think. Then those pieces can be rooted, of course!
Annie, I am pretty sure you could just have this outside...a frost will nip it back, but not kill the roots.
I think it will be fun, and a great way to meet other Missouri gardeners of course!
