I have winter sown this plant two yrs in a row, the one last year, did survive the winter. We shall see if they both survive this year, if so, they are hardy to zone5.

It seems mine are not as deep of a pink as other images I have seen. Mine are much more pale. I have 2 clumps now .... I'll keep watching them to see if it ever changes.
** Still surviving in zone5. I have one unprotected out in a field - doing just fine. Another near the house where it is more protected.

This plant is perennial in my garden, unless there are two "Pink Pop" hybrids. The foliage has a spicy scent, not as sweet as the A. aurantiaca hybrids.
