It's a beauty! I hadn't realized until a couple of years ago how tough these plants really are! I have some of the ordinary kinds and some fancy ones. The ordinary ones grow in half whiskey barrels all summer, and then I dig them in the fall and winter them in the greenhouse that stays at a minimum of 50 degrees. Year before last I potted each one as I dug it, last year I plopped them into tubs and they spent the winter there blooming their silly heads off! I really had intended to pot them up after they stopped blooming. They never stopped. Sometime in early June, when it finally decided to be summer, I dragged the tubs outside for a few days, then replanted the unfazed plants in their barrels again. Tough!
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
