Barb, I hear it's a real heavy bloomer,
I bought some cuttings so thats all I
know so for!

For your Zone, I would say in a pot. Slower than Charles Grimaldi, faster than Rotkirch or Zunac Vulcanicola. Can take regular fertilizer and watering with well draining soil.

Most Aurea types seem to bloom better in cool weather, i.e. low 70's upper 60's.

Mine's in a container. It's growing well and doesn't seem fussy at all. Hopefully it will bloom this year.

Thanks Everybody for the help..Pot it is...Happy sunday and thanks once again...
