Yes, we specialize in 'cool sunny spots' in my garden in the winter. The summer divas like the gingers die back and the Cyms will cover their areas nicely. Really, the problem is keeping it cool enough because the sunny spots can get pretty warm even in December and January. I guess I could water them with ice cubes, couldn't I . .
I'm looking forward to seeing blooms on some of the lovely ones I've bought the last few years. I know I have at least a white, a bright yellow, dark red 'Kenny Wine' and an orange-y one, besides this sort of ivory fellow that's blooming now.
