springcolor, I am glad to see someone else growing Trachaleum careuleum 'Hamer Pandora'. I grew it for two years and lost it two winters ago, I thought that I had not protected it well enough, but later learned that it is a short-lived perennial. I purchased a new one from Annie's Annuals a month or two ago and have planted it out. I will take cuttings to ensure that I am never without it again...I love that plant
