I'm glad you enjoy it. : ) Any plant can be taken out by pests. If it's pretty today and the cost is comparable to a bouquet, it's worthwhile, IMVHO. If beetles get it, something else will enjoy the pot. This is the 3rd year for them, a gift in this case. There are no guarantees. The uncertainty is what makes the successes so fun for me. I propose various garden ideas to mother nature and they are either accepted or vetoed, sometimes both, eventually.
