I have bought some bareroot, potted them up, and neglected them. I think that with reasonable care they would survive, perhaps thrive, here in North Florida: the heat seems hardly to bother them, just not getting water in their pots when the rains fail is too much. Might be a nice change from the usual North Florida alien standards.
