When you find out how....tell me. I live in NYC-7b, and just ordered my first plant. My "growing season".... lasts from June thru October....maybe.
It probably will arrive just in time for the onset of the dormancy period -that will last until next April. Who said, "timing" doesn't count? I figure I'm already half way towards killing this plant.
Impulse buying..... ain't a good thing, especially if you don't have a heated greenhouse.
Good luck.
