I have never tried to grow this particular
plant until this past
spring, mostly because everything I had ever read said it would not do well in my
zone 6 garden. I found a cultivar (whose name escapes me at the moment) at a local nursery that is supposed to survive here. It thrived nicely in a part sun location in my front garden, but now that it has turned cold, the foliage has withered and died. Am I to assume it is like most hardy perennials that lose their foliage in winter and regrow in
spring? I really hope it makes it because it is such a beautiful
plant. Any suggestions about its care will be appreciated.
