For those in warm weather climates there is hope of growing PCI's.
Avery has 4 growing in pots under our orange tree. He got them last year
at this time so he has had them a full year and yes they have
bloomed.
So people could try 1 or 2 but they need to be in the shade in the
warm climates.

Thank You for answering a question I was about
to post. I love in the warm, humid state of S.C.My yard however does have
several areas heavy in shade in the summer (large trees about it) I have built
two large raised beds and was thinking of putting some PCI's there around the
border as a trial The bed is in full sun until April when the leaves
come out. Our big problem in the summer is little rain. Do PCI's
need to be watered a lot ? I have Hosta, TB-Iris (now blooming in the
shade), Lilium, and Caladium there.
The other place I was considering was a raised
bed in my front yard in front of the picture window in my dinning
room. It is completely sunny there in early spring, later on sunny in the
morning, but as the afternoon come along, goes completely shady. I can grow
Roses there beautifully.
Which of these two places would you suggest
??
