[quote="conniepr27"]Mine are with hostas and they are fine. In fact, they get covered in at least a foot of snow for six months of the year. When the snow melts, they are the first bit of green I see and THAT is the most encouraging thing for me.]
And mine are in zone 10b and thriving - they've been blooming for almost a month. I have them in containers and they get some degree of am sun, and no sun at all after about 10:30 am. this varies with the movement of the sun, of course. My point is that this plant seems to be very happy in quite a wide range of weather conditions and temps - makes me want more of them to try out different spots all over the yard.
