Well, Sue, ...
it's my understanding to grow this like a zygo so cooler temps. I hope it can take the higher summer temps here - the cyms do fine so long as they are shaded and get extra water. wish me luck |

I recently bought one of these at a plant show (I have the "cardinal's roost" variety). It's a nice little plant, but the wind keeps knocking it over. 
I guess the only thing that disappoints me about it is the fact that it has pretty much no fragrance. You can only pick up on traces of it during the morning. The colors more than make up for it, though. |
