Wow, I love it! How do you grow such a cold tolerant species in a place as warm as Taiwan?

The weather where I locate is much like that of south China. So, we have distinct seasonal changes and these nobiles do well here.
But for some highland species, such as moniliforme, heterocarpum, harveyanum....it is difficult to do well in summer.

As I know, some laege nobiles do well in tropical part of Taiwan. Maaybe you can try them.
Some species, such as Den. anosmum or Den.primulinum, aslo grows well there.
