I bought it from Lowe's the year before. It is a tender perennial. As I recall, they are only hardy to zone 8 or 9, no way in zones 5 or 6 like you and I.

I LOVED this plant and had never seen it before. Seems like you have to go by Lowe's every week to see when they are carrying it.

Thanks redsox for your response. Yeah I guess i didn't understand there was a difference between perennial and tender perennial, i swear the tag just said perennial. I didn't realize i needed to dig it up and bring inside for the winter. Owell a lesson learned. Thanks again :o)
