Rating	Author	Comment
Positive	mswestover	On Oct 3, 2009, mswestover from Yulee, FL (Zone 9a) wrote: I keep some in a pot just to make sure I do not loose the species. I move that pot to the garage for the winter. I have it in the ground and it spreads and gets big there, but the winters sometimes knock it back to the roots. I trim off the dead stuff in the spring and by August it is back to it's former glory. Beautiful flowers
Neutral	azrobin	On Apr 4, 2008, azrobin from Scottsdale, AZ (Zone 9b) wrote: When top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Water generously until water flows out of the bottom of the planter. Do not water again until soil is dry. (Discard extra water in plant saucer to prevent root rot.)
