I love this plant and was determined to have it, even in my hopelessly cold zone. I successfully overwintered it in a pot in a sunroom that is heated to 50 degrees (but will get warmer on sunny days). During the summer, I put it outside.

This plant is much hardier than the profile says it is. My Corokia plants live in two different containers outside, in a slightly protected area, and have made it through several very cold spells here in the Northwest. These are plants people always ask about, and almost always want to find for themselves. I highly recommend this plant, even with its cute little yellow blooms.
