| Positive | angele | On Aug 11, 2009, angele from Elephant Butte, NM (Zone 7b) wrote: The hardiness zone (9) listed for this plant is not correct. This plant is found growing wild in the mountains near my home and I have grown this plant from seed. It is hardy in zone 7. A vendor that has this plant for sale also lists it as hardy to zone 7.
I think the flowers and foliage are absolutely gorgeous. | | Positive | SW_gardener | On Sep 4, 2008, SW_gardener from (Steven) GTA, ON (Zone 6a) wrote: easily grown from seed, grew well in a container, flowers at night with a heavenly scent.
