    I have had this plant in my zone 8a garden for several years. It dies down to the ground, but comes back faithfully each spring, even if I do not give it extra protection during our winters. It is not a large plant. In fact it's a short mounding plant. Butterflies love it, but so do whiteflies in late summer. Other than that, it's a great low-maintenance plant and I highly recommend it.
