I know there are number of them growing at Boyd Hill Nature preserve here in St. Pete - and for a very long time too. It's in the shady Hammock area near the edge of the lake with a high tree canopy that filters the sun.

Here's a some info from UF:

I planted quite a few last year, they were relatively cheap at Home Depot. The ones in the ground in shady areas with irrigation died pretty quickly. The ones in pots did much better, to the point I had to transplant into the ground as they were getting too big, and brushing up against them to water left me itchy. They succumbed quickly after planting in the ground. Not a scientific study by far, but I don't think I'll attempt them again.
