  2. Question

    Jana Wagner

    Would this be able to grow in a large pot? To be brought inside during the winter? Zone 7a here, but our winters are having very cold blasts/ice storms now.

      Hi Jana, These are naturally amenable to potted culture. They do require a fast-draining mix. I find them extremely cold-tolerant and haven’t lost any over the winter. If brought inside there is always the concern that they will get sad and droopy through lack of sun. It does make sense to choose the more northerly occurring species, which is where you left this comment. richo
