I was concerned over the hardiness of this glad species, but so far it seems to handle the winter cold in our garden well, surviving for at least three cold seasons. It finally bloomed last year, but I failed to capture its picture in full bloom. So you get a just-getting-started photo for now.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
