    Zone 8B--It's growing in a pot under a tree that provides heavy shade. I bought it mid-summer in a one gallon pot. It now fills a 25 gallon pot with trailers almost to the ground. No problems with pests or disease. In mostly shade it blooms regularly but not profusely. The leaves are attractive too. Right now it's early November and we have had a couple light freezes. It's still happy and has a couple blooms and some buds. The buds are a medium violet. We had a very hot, dry summer so it received regular watering. Next season I will plant it in our yard, which is extremely rocky and dry, and see how it does there.
