A tender perennial - you will have to protect it in winter else you will probably lose it. Best just to buy a new one in spring - fairly cheap - a six pack is often less than $10 today.

You can plant it in the ground where it will do excellent provided it is kept adequately watered and fed.

It can take full sun - again if you keep it watered as needed. It does very well in full sun - blooms better.

A few of mine over the years. In a coir lined basket on a hot summer deck.

In a tall plastic pot

In late evening same pot

Started in this bed end of May 2007 with a Harry Lauder's Walking Stick

Probably paid $5 for this six pack a few days earlier that year

Mid August - about 10 weeks later

Early October

Do give Dragon Wings a try - you won't regret it (Mid-October)

It does well in hanging baskets as well
