Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Ginger Solberg | Aug 28, 2004 | HI! I love this plant- want it so.I read in another plant profile that you have warm humid summers- so do I here in Louisiana. We also have hot humid nights- Do you? Just trying to figure out if this will grow here. I appreciate your help.
We're not nearly as hot and humid here as you are - but it's worth a try. Upper hardiness level of Z9 is promising, anyway. |
