Oh my our Grand kids would freak. We are in zone 8, would it grow in the south?

Dec 4th, 2013 at 4:55:52 AM PST by

If your in zone 8b-11 they should do well. BUT...as with all rare plants, these are fussy during germination and tropical knowledge is beneficial.

Good thinking :) You'll want to work up to these since they're not a simple plant n grow type flower. Thanks for looking and visit often Lisa!!
