lol...I was just going to post that! That it's native to Calif also. So one way or another it's ended up here. I do like the plant but wanted to make sure of what I was turning loose on the property since it seeds so freely. There are no moist areas here, most of my stuff is drought tolerant, so it may have to content itself with living in the nursery. It's been happy to do so thus far. There's one in the ground that was planted with another plant that went into the ground. I'll see how it handles that situation....
