Angelo, is your Othonna capensis hardy in your area? Love that plant. If so how do you grow it?

According to the tag it's supposed to be hardy to zone 5 but I have seen plants from another grower and they look a little different so I think there may be two forms circulating in the nursery trade, one that is smaller and more cold hardy, and one that is larger and isn't as cold hardy. I have the smaller version.
I got the plant this spring and planted it in a hole with a little pea gravel at the bottom and with paver base around it. It has grown quite a bit and has been really happy, even with recent upper 90's temperatures.

So you haven't taken it through a winter yet?
Can you tell me where you got yours?

I bought it at a place called Western Gardens (Salt Lake City location) but the plant came from Perennial Favorites which is a wholesale nursery.

It looks like MCG sells O. capensis and judging from their pictures it's the same form that I have.
