Neal, mine has been in the ground since 2008 and even survived all of our freezes this past winter. I thought for sure it was a goner, as it dies back. But, as soon as it was safe, up she came. Because I didn't even know what it was, I just enjoyed it for the foliage for the first two years. I was so surprised to see the blooms this year. And now she has a name. I love it. It doesn't have any fragrance at all, but that's ok. When the morning dew is on the bloom, the center of the bloom becomes translucent. It is so pretty.
