I had one in a pot on the lanai last year. It did so well that it out grew the very large pot it was in and was just too large for the lanai. I took the plant out of the pot, root ball and all, took a big swing and tossed it into the marshy area of the woods behind my house. Three months later that silly plant is still blooming and growing! I didn't plant it in the woods.....I just tossed it in there!!!! Also, this is one plant that my sister, who has about the blackest thumb around (she even killed mexican petunias) can grow.
