After it finishes blooming we are going to try to root cuttings. Don't know if it will be enough time as it dies back in the winter.

Good luck. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a stand of those beauties???

Where are you in Jax? I used to live in Green Cove Springs, then moved to Jax Beach for a couple of years before moving to NY. Worked in the Baymeadows area.

Can you believe it? I lived in N. Florida for over 5 years, and in St. Pete for 2 years, and I didn't start gardening until I moved to NY?

But then, how many people move TO ny FROM Florida? Guess I'm just a wee bit backwards...
