    We had an unusually cold winter 2017 for zone 9 and my large plant died back even after being brought into the shelter of my garage, but by April 1 all new growth started from the 4" base that was left, and now in June it's rebounded already to branching 10 inches in all directions. It grows under my porch where it gets bright light all day and I water it once a week.
