Florida would not be a place I would try them. Some are more willing to take the risk and try it though. The plants are generally not inexpensive, even in the best cases. I think of all sorts of beautiful things that she can grow that I can't here. I think in the end, there is always a bit of zone envy going both ways. I know I always get drawn to growing something that I should know better based on the data, but I have been known to try it anyway...no matter how futile.
