Uh oh, Paul...you've gone and done it! Now, I will have to give this one a
try, tho' I have read copious times that it simply loathes and despises
hot, humid nights....deary me....it is so drop dead gorgeous! Sigh. I was
OK with not being able to grow it when all I knew it by was a written
description, but now I've *seen* it, I'm sunk....
Somebody from z 7 Mid-Atlantic, PLEASE post and say this one grows
marvelously for you...please, please....
