We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. One or more images of this plant are included in my stock photo catalog About my plant portraits

I don't sell plants by mail. As for hardiness - the AHS encyclopedia says Zones 5-8. They are often conservative, but I don't know about three additional zones... |
| Nancy | May 11, 2008 | This is so impressive; I wish that you did ship as I would love to have a few of the plants and trees that you show. Thanks for a nice Mothers' Day extra :) nancy |
