Positive Gabrielle On Jan 16, 2006, Gabrielle from Washington, IL (Zone 5a) wrote:

This is such a pretty flower, and the leaves are interesting, too. It dies back in hot dry weather, but comes back the next year. If it is kept cooler and moist, it remains all year. My information says it is hardy in zones 4-8. Darkness aids germination of seeds.
