Mom had glads too, but there again, if you really want to keep them for a long time, they have to be brought inside for winter. Although I have one that was planted with several in 2000 and it keeps coming back year after year. Never does it bloom, but the foliage is always there. Some day I might remember to dig it out and let it winter inside then plant it again to see if it will bloom. This climate is one of those middle of the road deals. It can't decide whether or not to be considered north or south. It for sure isn't east though, no matter where the Mighty Mississippi flows because it is nothing like the climate in E Kentucky. It's much hotter and very dry.
