Wow, you grow it in the ground? Mine stays outside all summer on a covered patio, brought it in when the weather began to get cooler here. Thx for all the info. The nickname given this plant here is little boy plant because it makes one think of a little boy peeing. We have a big laugh about it around these parts. The florists around here are asked to send little boy plants to the funeral home when ppl want to send this plant, as most do not kno it's name.
