My neighbor gave me and mom ours........I had no clue that they would do so well over winter outside, but my neighbor insisted they did...and they do!
She gave me those last year because the ones I had in my other bed actually flowered and then pretty much died. She said in all her years of growing them none of hers had ever flowered....it was neat to see. Luckily she has tons of them and gave me more.

They don't mind the cold...they overwinter here as well.....they are surely tough. I've weed-whacked them by mistake a few times 
It seems thought that they only bloom once every couple of years though.

I can't find any around here except already in containers and they are very expensive - because of the containers. I saw some more at Home Depot today but they were in ceramic containers for $12.00. I hope the ones Dodge sent me multiply.
