Has anyone here on this forum grown this plant in the ground in your yard?

I have 3 and want to just grow them in the ground. I am wondering if they would survive in zone 9b FL? How large is their root system? I don't know whether to plant them near the house or away from my house. Near the septic or away from the septic drain field? How big can the caudex get?

I am also wondering if I have B. recurvata or B. guatermalensis? Does anyone know how to tell the difference?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
