- Q
If grown as an annual in the ground in Zone 4 (MN), how large would this grow and how much would it flower in a 3-4 month growing season? If grown in container, could it be overwintered in a basement?
- Asked by shelley
- Verified Reply - AngelaI don't think you can expect a good show as an annual. Like all perennials it will take some time to establish a root system before putting out blooms. You can grow it in a large pot and overwinter in an unheated basement or garage. It will look stunning in containers. Just be sure the pots have drainage holes and just lightly water about once a month while in winter storage.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
