This is a very hardy and beautiful plant. We bought ours last summer and live in Houston, Texas. It doesn't really care for our extremely hot August and September afternoons, but loves the Spring and Winter. It made it through the coldest winter I remember in Houston in many years. We had two days of 25 degree weather. This plant didn't so much as lose a leaf. It is loaded with blooms now in March.

This is one hardy plant and beautiful. I planted it last spring '06 and had to move it, then move it again into a pot and finally plant it where it has been since late summer. But it has been blooming continuously since the fall and even bloomed on through a pretty hard freeze here in Southern California, completely unfazed. 10b. It rarely freezes at our house but we had a 1/2 inch of hard ice on our pond and birdbath.
I have two of these beauties planted out by the pool. I purchased them last fall and I have had almost continuous bloom, even thru the winter ! Can't wait to see how they do during our hot summer months here in CA.

I grew this shrub once...what a treasure...the exquisite blue colour of the bloom...a most unusual plant, that in some circumstances it blooms and others, very slow to put out! I am currently looking for another! good for greenhouse specimen and in the summer, outside! Elaine
