I have no direct experience with RC, but while visiting a residence north of
Albuquerque came upon a plant in the gentleman's backyard. I was quite
suprised to see it, especially since his house was in one of the colder
micro-climates.
He said the plant frosts back to the ground every winter (usual lows in the
teens and single degrees). Next time I'm in CA I'll acquire plants for the
garden and try it.
