My sister has been growing this in pots, outside for years here in central texas. It does need shelter during our winter tho.. it is drought resistant.. likes seaweed base fertilizer ( we use local product called Medina Has to Grow!) Just had one with 3 open "flowers" and 7 unoopened pods, all at one time!
