Don't know how hardy it is, but we have some in pots, and have had a few blooms over the past couple of months. The flowers are on a separate stalk from the base of the plant and don't extend any higher than the foliage (maybe up to a foot tall on ours, but they might get taller if planted in the ground, not sure). They seem to prefer partial shade.

Still learning on this one, but I hope this helps a little.

Thanks alot!: ) I can't wait to see flowers.
