Can grow outdoors but must be moved inside or dug up and stored through the frosty winter months. Will grow to about 3- 3 1/2 feet, these do best in full sun but will tolerate part shade. Soil must be well drained or you risk rotting. Are hardy in zones 8 and up. Can be grown indoors as a house plant if you have the space for a 3 foot tall plant.
